[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 634052, member: 3419"] I hear you! I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to move out. And I completely understand about the sound of his voice. Deep breath. Yes, stress can kill you. What is your son's diagnosis? Why doesn't he have friends? Sounds like a learning disorder or something ... And why wasn't he in school for two yrs? Even in juvie they have classes. Do you have a therapist? If not, get one. You need to learn to detach. It takes a long time, but you can do it. One thing I do is pretend that my son is a TV show, turned up too loudly. The noise bothers me, but the words don't hold much meaning. (Sad, but it's what I have to do sometimes.) He can tell when I'm really "spacy" as you say, and he'll shout at me to pay attention. I know what you mean about being able to function, just to do the laundry. by the way, what if he does the laundry and you give him a reward--a candy bar, video game? Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
