[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 139714, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. It is really hard to live with a mentally ill person, be it a child or adult. You sound very depressed. Please seek out YOUR doctor and tell her about your anxiety and depression. medications can help YOU find coping skills. I think therapy might also help (you seeing a therapist). NOT that you are crazy, and I totally understand both your feelings and your husband's. I can tell you that I have had almost as much therapy as my difficult child (gift from God - the difficult child who brought you here). Can you tell us what professionals you have seen? Who has diagnosed him? How old he is? Often our kids need a good neuropsychologist to evealuate them to pinpoint what is truly wrong. This is often around 12 hours of intensive testing. I found this type of testing at our developmental pediatrician. He actually had a number of different professionals help with the testing and exam. It really helped. One thing you can do this weekend: Go out and get a copy of The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. Also look for a copy of The Out of Sync Child by Carol Kranowitz, and Love and Logic Parenting by Fay and Cline. Personally, I would just get the Explosive Child, and then the other two later. READ the Explosive Child. It is a great way to look at what is going on in your child's head. And a wonderful way to handle a difficult child. Many of us have found help with the book. You are NOT a terrible mom. You are an inexperienced and overwhelmed mom. Even with many years of experience LOTS of us feel this way at times. Sending big cyber hugs!!! Susie [/QUOTE]
