[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 653063, member: 18516"] Terry I know just how you feel. It is so frustrating to do all we can to help our Difficult Child and they do nothing. Even if you get him to go to the therapist there is no guarantee that he will participate or for that matter be honest. We went through several therapists for my son and nothing they did was really effective. We had one therapist and my son would go in sit in the chair then bend over and put his head between his knees and would not speak a word. There has been some very good advice given by others that I agree with 110% I know it's so much easier said than done but it's the only thing that will help you maintain your sanity. I also know how hard dealing with a Difficult Child can be on a marriage. You can become so focused on dealing with Difficult Child's problems that everything else in your life gets pushed aside. You really have to work at not allowing yourself to become so consumed with dealing with Difficult Child that your forsake the other important relationships in your life. There were times I wasn't sure if my marriage would survive and then one day I realized I was allowing my son's chaos to overtake my whole life including my marriage. I knew I needed to start putting effort back into my marriage. One thing that my husband and I started to do was to take drives on the weekend. Just the two of us, we would take off mid morning and just go explore, stop and have lunch and talk about anything but Difficult Child. Also, holding hands. Having that "touch" is so important. We still love to go on our drives. ((HUGS)) to you Terri. Hang in there, you will get through this. :group-hug: [/QUOTE]
