[QUOTE="recovering doormat, post: 277520, member: 5941"] You poor sweetie. I can relate to the "35 minute therapy session" with your child before bed, when you are already so exhausted from the days' events that you can't get out of your own way. And I didn't work full time, either. I came very close at times to losing it and yelling at my daughter that I can't be her therapist (she was going but she would b.s. with the therapist and not talk about stuff that was really bothering her..and I'm paying for it). But I stopped myself, and I'm glad I did. She was hospitalized again after that time and finally found a medication that helped her (Prozac, the old standby, the only one we hadn't tried). And she's doing better now than ever before. I haven't seen earlier posts so I'm just guessing that your kids feel there is something scary about your house. I would agree with Totoro that maybe there is some kind of ritual or ceremony you could do to help your kids feel like they have some control over their environment. I think the sage grass idea is excellent, I think there are also spiritual cleansings that involve sprinkling sea salt around doorways, etc. (saw it on a feng shui site). I was raised Roman Catholic and I remember way back when I was a kid it was normal for a priest to come and bless a house when newly built or when new owners/tenants moved in. Like my dear old grandmother Nellie used to say, "It might not help you dear, but it couldn't hurt." [/QUOTE]
