[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 493950, member: 12227"] Hey!!! Why no invite to the pity party?? Heck I have mine alot and like you I normally do not invite anyone but there are times when I see a friend or one of my church family and just say "I need a hug". In my case the boys did not ask for this...I did:twister2:since I chose to adopt my grandsons rather then see them go to foster care or a non relative adoption. I knew there would be problems along the way but was already seeing a therapist for depression resulting from my back injury. So I take may antidepressants and talk to my therapist and see my other docs including a psychiatrist who really understands. Last time I saw him and told him what was happening with my Daniel he added xanax to my mix of medications because he was watching as I twisted my hair into knots and was biting the inside of my lips. My therapist keeps me sane. Actually although it si just the boys and I these past 9 yrs that I have them I have found good resources. Our small county actually has a parent asst at the school board in the ESE dept. She will even go to the SS office with you. I also have the support of the Children's Advocacy Center here. I told them they should just give me my own key since I am there so often between David's appointment with therapist and psychologist there, staffings about both boys and they do all my faxing for me now. But...I do miiss having a man in my life to lean on once in awhile but at almost 59 yrs old with two special needs boys I doubt there will be one. [/QUOTE]
