[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 729208, member: 15032"] Welcome and sorry you have to be here. I would recommend finding a therapist that you and your wife can see that specializes in the behaviors you are seeing. You really need to be on the same page I believe. A good therapist can guide you through this uncertainty you are in and maybe you can even find some peace. If you have some plan in place it will make you feel better. They always blame their parents. I understand your wife wants to plan a family vacation and do NORMAL things but the fact is, this isn't going to fix anything and yes, he will definitely ruin your plans. Of course she doesn't want to deal with the reality of what is happening. Who would?? You want your "old" life back. Your son when he was easier. I want that to but the reality is, that is no longer the case. Your wife may hear what she wants to someday from your son but my bet is that it is a very very long way off. You have to find ways to cope and live now/today. When they are minors and raising hell it seems our hands are somewhat tied. You can't let 4 other people suffer and sink to save one and it's not saving him anyway. More will be along that have experience with this. Good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
