[QUOTE="klmno, post: 231306, member: 3699"] Geez- what a lot on your shoulders. I hope getting a better night's sleep will help him be a little calmer during the day- once they are able to help him with that. I'd think it couldn't be good for his disposition, much less good for him physically and cognitively. Of course, that doesn't help you feel any better right now, I guess. I understand what you mean about it wearing you down. When my son seems to be trying his best (I guess that's when he's stable and really trying to stay on track), I feel like I could never give up on him. But, after so many days- weeks now- of instability, intermixed with times of aggression, I feel like I've been run over physically and emotionally and that I don't have one ounce of energy left in me. Then difficult child wants more attention from me because he really can't communicate much/socialize with anyone else right now (it's not like difficult child's make a lot of friends during these phases, right?), and I just want to close myself off from him and everyone else- except this board. So, I get where you are coming from. It sounds like your son is more dependent upon you, too. Can you and husband get any respite at all? I don't know if I'd make him miss the tournament though. Maybe drop him off and you and husband go out for coffee or something....are you mad at easy child? Maybe you could pay easy child to stay at the tournament and videotape it??? Ok, I guess that might be wishful thinking for you... [/QUOTE]
