[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 359122, member: 6546"] Thank you.... I needed to hear this! And just to clarify--difficult child is NOT a beneficiary of my Life Insurance (although truthfully, I'm not even sure if she understands how it even works....so maybe we will need to make that more clear to her). And the doctor WAS serious about buying a horse because she mentioned that it only costs $$$ per month to board at ABC and that's soooo reasonable (yea, for a person making her income, I'm sure it is!). So in regards to doctor's "horse as motivator" idea--I think I am going to have to clarify for doctor just how much time and energy it "costs" our family to have to live with all of difficult child's guff. In light of all of our sacrifice, it is truly unfair to suggest this kind of "upper-class" prize as a reward for difficult child while the rest of us are left to struggle by clipping coupons and doing without. Also...and I think this is what I've been feeling but couldn't quite sort it all out-- I guess I've been looking for someone to give me "permission" to put myself first for a change. We've been in such a crisis mode with this child for so long now and I've been waiting for some kind of answer or solution so that I could go back to my life....but I guess there isn't any answer--nor any solution....and I need to find a way to get back to my life anyway. I guess I need to work on that... [/QUOTE]
