[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 102975, member: 3388"] Catwmn, I'm so sorry!!! I really understand how you feel. Raising difficult children is the most difficult thing I've ever had to do. Nothing I've ever experienced compares to the pain, anger, sadness, loneliness, etc. that comes with raising difficult children. The one bit of advice that comes to mind right away is to get your husband on the same page with you. My husband and I learned the hard way that we have to parent as a team. Unless you and husband stick together, are consistent in setting limits, etc., you run the risk of having your difficult children use both of you to their full advantage. in my humble opinion, things will keep getting worse until you and your husband act as a unified front. If at all possible, find someone to take care of your difficult children and you and husband go out for dinner, coffee, etc. to talk. If you can't find anyone to watch them, try to talk when they are asleep. Don't let the stress and strain of raising difficult children ruin your marriage. The more time that goes by with you and husband angry at each other, upset with the situation, etc., the harder it will be for you to become close again. And, YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE AS A MOTHER!!! From what you've written here, you're an excellent[img]:warrior:[/img]mom!!! You are trying to do everything you can to help your son. Unfortunately, I just looked at the time and I have to go. I know others will be along soon with more advice for you. Sending lots of hugs, WFEN [/QUOTE]
