[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 32159, member: 2287"] Ok, so I had a good cry and that helped for a day. husband stayed home till difficult child got on the bus on Fri. and difficult child "slipped" with his mouth a few times and husband was appalled. husband has never not believed me, but it's still different when he actually hears it. It's so exhausting to listen to someone demean you all the time, ya know? difficult child is a pro at that. I guess when you've tried everything you can think of for seven + years, you expect it to be a little bitty bit better...it's not. difficult child has started Lithium about 2 weeks ago, so maybe that'll be part of the answer. It's the first mood stabilizer, except for the Depakote that he couldn't take. I really do try to do things for myself while difficult child's at school. This week I went shopping (and actually bought myself something), I went to the salon and got my hair all cut off (short)....{don't know why I was growing it out, I've always been told that short people need short hair!}, and I DO exercise by walking a total of 20 miles a week. I also made myself a doctor's appointment to get a physical and hopefully rethink my AD. Thanks so much for the "attention" I get here. Sometimes that's all one gets, ya know? At least there are hundreds on here who really do understand.....not blood family, or neighbors, or co workers, etc. [/QUOTE]
