[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 398303, member: 1514"] Jena, I would hazard a guess that most of us or at least a lot of us, have had experienced times where our kids have put us through unending hell. I have told people many times that I wouldnt raise Cory again through his teen years if you paid me a million bucks...heck, not even 10 million bucks! It was that bad. Right now things are really pretty much a blur to me about that whole time but I remember just the unending trauma, the never being able to get anything to work right, schools not working, medications not working, HIM not working. I remember calling his father several times a day just screaming..."do something with your kid!" This lasted years and years. Heck we still get into fights with and about him. Nothing with this stuff is easy. Now...one thing I do want to say about your hubby and you. I can only imagine how hard it is to be newly married and going through this but you guys were together for a while before you got married so he knew what he was getting into. You didnt surprise him. None of this came as a shock. I also think you may have more time to actually talk and be more emotionally intimate with your hubby on the phone than you are when you are sitting right there in the room with him. I have found this to be especially true for me and Tony when he works out of town. As a couple who has been together forever, you can imagine just how much we actually talk in day to day life. Most of it is stuff like what channel is on and who is taking out the garbage...lol. We might actually throw in an occasional "do you have any toilet paper?" for good measure! However, when he goes out of town, we talk for over an hour every night! We actually set up a time to call each other and sometimes watch a tv show together. If he is out of town when Idol is on, that is our show...everyone knows it. Isnt that cute? LOL. But we really talk. We get more said when he is out of town than we ever do in real life. That is probably sad but its true. I bet it will happen for you too if you make it a real effort to call each other and talk each day and really talk. Not so much about the kids or the house...but each other. Of course, if there is a tv show you want to watch together that is a great way to start it off...lol. Hugs honey.
