[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 376300, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]cactus, sorry to hear that husband is having such a rough time of it. Please know that you aren't alone in this. husband's seem to want it fixed immediately on their terms. When everyday parenting didn't work my husband went off the deep end. He wanted his children & the white picket fence. Was never going to happen. Sounds like husband needs some one on one counseling addressing his depression(?), moods, whatever before marriage counseling will help. I do know that adopting kids later in life puts quite the strain on your marriage - it certainly did mine. Love & Logic seems to work very well with adopted kids - can't really say why. I guess giving them some control in their lives where there was no control before helps. Keep in touch, my dear & updated on the situation. If nothing else if just to let off steam. This board has some of the broadest shoulders in the world, we can handle it. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
