[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 47635, member: 3647"] Kjs, I'm glad you saw this. You needed to. It is evident that you are depressed, and you need to take care of yourself. You cannot POSSIBLY take care of your son if you aren't taking care of yourself first. And he won't respect you or take you seriously until and unless he sees you respecting yourself. School is out soon. The timing is perfect. You have the summer to at least not worry about phone calls from school. Make a decision to put husband in charge of difficult child. Let him Let husband take care of your son so that YOU can take care of YOU. Talk to a doctor about your medications. Certain ADs work differently on different people. Get on a medication that will help you. THEN, see a therapist. I know psychiatrists issue medications and then shoo you out the door. Make an appointment with a couselor or therapist so that you can actully TALK to someone who is unbiased about your situation. You HAVE to do this. Right now, you are feeling like th victim (of difficult child & husband) as well as the person whose fault it is. Talk to someone about it. Start feling good about you. Take the summer to get to know you. If it is your thing, go to church. Connect with nature. Take a water colors class. Rent a cabin for a weekend, if you can. Visit a friend. This needs to be the summer of YOU, so that you can come back in the fall WHOLE. You are not whole right now. Your son needs you whole. And yes, he does need you. More than you know. More than HE even knows. Pulling for ya here...lots of hugs and prayers... [/QUOTE]
