[QUOTE="batzy1, post: 539704, member: 14888"] Hello Liahona, What you described are my worst fears and what i believe my life will start turning into. Thank you so much for sharing with me, I have a question that may help me understand my husband more, did you go through a period of denial about what was going on with your difficult child 1 and if so, what made you snap out of it? I'm afraid it is going to take something tragic for my husband to snap out of his denial and agree to stop letting his difficult child 1 from staying here. The journal and video are two new tools I planned to have this summer as I learned it would have come in handy from last summer. I'm going to document everything he does and turn it over to his doctors because so far my husband and his ex haven't been giving the doctors all the details about what him. I figure I have the right to do that since he is in my care too for the summer. I've also got two small cameras charged and ready to go for those unavoidable moments my husband does have to use the restroom. I wish I had taped him last year so my husband could see the grin he would get on his face as he tried to hurt one of the dogs. I don't know how you handle everything by yourself, I guess you have no other choice. Sometimes no matter how much I love my husband, I just think my difficult child and I would be better off if I just said I couldn't do it anymore, does that make me a bad person? To leave someone because their child is unbearable? When I talk to people that haven't experienced such a child and can't grasp the seriousness of it, I get the response or looks of that I'm the bad person, and I've heard the comments of "how do you let an 8 year old run you or scare you?" They just don't get it. I'm glad I started writing on here, it's going to help me when he gets here this Saturday. I have no idea what to expect, I told my husband that I can't survive another summer like last one. He keeps saying he is going to handle it or take care of it, but how can he when he doesn't admit what is wrong with his son? [/QUOTE]
