[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 443396, member: 11847"] Thanks for your support. Wipe out, no I really never get any break... I ask husband to keep the kids a couple of hours on the weekend so I can go grocery shopping by myself, but I know I need more. As far as talking to a therapist, well I simply don't have the money. I have a High deductible and can't squeeze that in the budget. Honestly, I need to have a talk with husband, tell him I'm struggling and he needs to releave me more when he's home. The herbs I got are supposed to work like a AD, let's see in a few days (ultimatl up to 6 weeks). April, my parents come all the way from France and will stay 1 month... How can I tell them not to come?? They would never see us. I am going to have to start a new thread and get some practical advice o hw to deal with grand parents that just don't get it. When they first arrive, the first week is like difficult child honey moon. Then his behavior starts being affected by their lack og knowledge on how to deal with them and not backing off when I take charge of a sleepy situation. They don't even realize that difficult child is on the wrong slop and I'm working really hard to avoid a big meltdown. Then when they stay long enough (more than 2 weeks), difficult child starts to feel real confortable and focus his behavior on them (spit, hit, insult). But once again, they look at me shoked and I am constantly "saving" them or simply not translating the english bad language. FIY: difficult child never hits me, spits on me or uses bad language with me. But what do I know? I'm just abusing my child. Even if I had a better, more accurate diagnosis, I'm not sure they would listen or understand I need to take the reins when it comes to difficult child.
