[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 590107, member: 15810"] I've been feeling the exact same way lately. There are times when I don't even want to be in the same room with difficult child, let alone have a normal relationship with him. I harbor alot of anger towards him and I'm not sure if I will ever be able to let go of it. Everything we do, every decision we make is clouded by the question "What about difficult child?" and that is just not what I ever thought I would have to deal with as a parent. I think I would feel differently if we saw that he would at least admit that he has problems that we are working on dealing with, but he thinks that he should get everything he wants, exactly when he wants it. There would be no problems if we just gave in to his every demand. We don't do that and we don't make easy child do that, and that is where the problems start and they just pick up steam and go from there. He's bored and the rest of us should have to stop everything to entertain him. I refused to make easy child do that yesterday and it caused an afternoon that was not fun for any of us. Thank God it's Monday! I was thinking this morning that I just have to get through the next four years and then I'm sending him to college far, far away from here, but right now four year might as well be four hundred years because I have no idea how I'm going to get through it. Good grief! I'm not even sure how I'm going to get through the next day. Four years? It seems like a lifetime right now. It's been a bad week here because husband and I are struggling with parenting this young man and it's causing HUGE problem within the marriage. We're falling apart, and to say that is devesatating to me would not be an understatement. [/QUOTE]
