[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 231189, member: 47"] Thre is an old Irish saying, I think its Irish anyway - it goes "Better the devil you know than the Devil you don't" That kind of thought process freezes us right where we stand. No matter how bad and uncomfortable we are with something, its familiar, so we stay with it, till we keel over or implode in our attempt to roll with the punches. KJS, there are ways out of your dilemma - everyone has given some really good imput. I can so totally relate to the fact that if you have to handle one.more.thing its going to put you over the top with overload. If you feel you HAVE to fix easy child's car, do it, then put the darn thing in his name or transfer the loan over to him. If he wants a ride to work, then he needs to get that car fixed. Get an IEP for difficult child if you don't have one, and get them to make accomodations for the homework. I know its hard to step out of the box you have built. But to survive steping out is something only you can do - you built the box now you have to dismantle it, maybe only a splinter at a time. You need to get your life back - right now you are not "living" you are only "existing" and its killing your spirit. Marcie [/QUOTE]
