[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 209356, member: 2459"] A failure? Please. A small funny to drive my point home. One time while at the psychiatrists for difficult child, she gave me some samples to use PRN for difficult child. She pulled them out of a drawer in her desk and difficult child was amazed that she kept drugs in her desk. She said that of course she does. The drawer on the left is for her patients, the big one in the middle is for her and the one on the right is for her patient's parents. Then she looked at me with an eyebrow cocked. I declined at the time but let me tell you....there have been days. Now....raising a difficult child is enough to bring the toughest Marine to his/her knees. Doctors I see that know my situation are more surprised that I DON'T ask for anything. Could this be that they are all pill pushing freaks? Maybe. OR...it could be that it is completely acceptable to need a little sumthin sumthin to help cope/deal with the lives we lead. Seriously though....what we do is freaking STRESSFUL!!! And if we can't keep ourselves together, what good are we to our kids? Just because we may need a little help here or there, be it respite or an anti-depressant, that only means we are human. If you need it, for the love of all that's shiny woman....TAKE IT! :winking: [/QUOTE]
