[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 625764, member: 15804"] Thank you Confused. It [B]is[/B] hard to balance everything and most of our situations are so complex that even the professionals are challenged by them. Yeah, better for my family would be nice. Thanks again. I wish you the same. Over all of the years of difficulty and all of the fears I have had regarding difficult child never once had I even thought of the concept of him being the "Identified Patient" until I read about it the other night. I learned about this in a book I am reading about suicide called, "Waking Up Alive." After I became aware of this "Identified Patient concept, I wanted to find out from the p-doctor and t-doctor how common this phenomena is with our difficult child children. I would assume that it is pretty common or at least they are at high risk of this depending on the family dynamics. I wanted to find out if they think that this may be going on in our situation. How to avoid it and how to correct it. All I got was, "The first step is identifying it." So yes, I do hope that I get more help at the next appointment. His father is supposed to be there so maybe having both of us in the same room will facilitate the discussion about this. I plan to pose all of those questions to them again. Thanks for wishing me luck with that. I'm going to need it. [/QUOTE]
