[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 513033, member: 3388"] I understand how the stress of raising a difficult child can put a tremendous strain on your marriage. There was a time when I thought my husband and I were headed for divorce court. I became a stay at home mom (worked from home) out of necessity. I had two difficult children, ages 1 and 2 when I became pregnant with my easy child (now easy child/difficult child 3.) husband was a hard worker, put in as many hours as possible, and when he came home, he didn't want to deal with the crisis of the day. By the time he got home, he thought he was entitled to just kick back, put his feet up and relax. He totally tuned out. I felt like there was no "me" anymore between taking care of my children, cooking, cleaning, working, researching disabilities, scheduling team meetings, etc... You need some time to yourself, to do whatever it is that you want to do. Now is the time you need the support of family, friends, and/or a babysitter. You need to schedule some "me" time and then go out and do something special just for you - Get your haircut, your nails done, go for a jog, have coffee with a friend, go window shopping, etc... You'll be amazed at how a few hours away from home on a regular basis can make a big difference in your mood, allow you to see things more clearly. While I don't have any answers for you, I just want you to know I'm thinking of you, and hoping tomorrow will be a better day... SFR [/QUOTE]
