[QUOTE="klmno, post: 249970, member: 3699"] Thank you! I didn't get anything accomplished. I slept half the day because I was up half the night. I lestened to music, played with the dogs, played a computer game and just made myself a pizza. It's not good, but it could be worse, I guess. LOL!!! I'd feel a lot better about the difficult child situation if there was more common understanding between the gal and the mental health professionals. When she gets on board, I guess I act like I expect her to start advocating for difficult child. She doesn't really do that- she checks sd records, verifies that I'm taking him to treatment, etc. but that's about it. I keep trying to get her more involved so she'll have a better understanding of his issues, can open more doors by advocating, and hopefully, can realize what this is like on me and that I'm the one holding this together- not causing the problem.
