[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 31974, member: 3388"] Pamela, You have been given so much excellent advice already!!! I really can't think of much more to add. Even though others have already suggested physical activity, I want to mention it again. I manage to maintain my sanity through exercise. This has helped me so much that I wish everyone who doesn't have physical reasons for not being able to exercise, tried it!!! I think you have to make it a part of your daily routine. I once read, (I can't remember the exact amount of time), that it takes about three months for a new activity to become a habit. I've been exercising for so long, its something I just automatically do everyday. I won't lie and say that there are days I don't feel like exercising, but it's the days when I don't want to exercise that I need it the most... On those days, I FORCE myself to do it. I look at it as self-survival... I totally understand the toll a verbally abusive difficult child can have on you day after day after day... I'm managing to survive difficult child 2 because we're going to get him re-evaluated. If medications are suggested, we'll give them a try... I'm also managing to survive difficult child 2 because husband got to hear one of difficult child 2's more nasty outbursts directed at me a while ago. Now husband is standing behind me 100% when it comes to difficult child 2's negative behavior and consequences as a result of his "garbage mouth", as we call it here. I truly understand your pain... I also feel like my difficult children have sucked the life out of me. I feel like a big chunk of my life has been taken away from me... I try to think about the future alot. I dream about the day when my difficult children will no longer be living with me... I don't think I would make it if I thought I would have to live with them forever... Exercise isn't the end all - You've been given lots of other great advice too. I just wanted to let you know how much exercise has helped me. Please continue to let us know how things are going. We care. Sending lots of cyber hugs!!! WFEN [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
