[QUOTE="witzend, post: 136042, member: 99"] First off, big hugs to you! Now, I hope you will be able to stop and take a breath! I know that you need to prepare yourself as much as possible, but you have [i]so many[/i] things that you are juggling right now! I'd probably want to kick me if I said it to myself, but is it possible that you could separate out some of the tasks that you have ahead of you and deal with them as their own entities? Lists to keep things in perspective? (UGH!) How about asking your family for some assistance, either with your difficult child, or with rides, or temporary housing? (DOUBLE UGH!) Church? (Oy!) All I can say is that you are starting in the right place and doing the right thing. Asking for help and ideas is about all you can do. I know that someone will know how to help. I find that I often say "Let me know if you need anything", but it seems like people are shy to ask. You shouldn't be afraid to ask anyone for anything you need. People really do want to help and are just waiting for you to let them know what they can do for you. Regarding Lil Dude, is UCP not able to assist in any way? Maybe the can't offer a working brace right now, but maybe they can lighten your load in some other way. My heart goes out to you. I hope that you will find the strength and help that you need to get yourself and your family on the mend. [/QUOTE]
