[QUOTE="shaile, post: 107714, member: 4123"] Greetings..~smiles~ It is much the same now in this house. After 3yrs of Sig Other and I being together..the behavioral episodes from difficult child are really taking their toll. S.O. has gone from trying to understand, to feeling he understands it more than me, and now does not seem to care to listen or even try to have continued discussions about what we might try next or differently. It is if he has gone from trying to understand and help to just not caring if difficult child is happy or not, and it keeps me on the defensive for difficult child more so than I should be. I feel quite often literally trapped in the middle trying desperately to make them both happy, and constantly feel I am failing both. It is a pressure that frequently leaves me just sitting crying with feelings of no hope. I never once asked S.O. to step up to the plate and become this hard disciplinarian for difficult child. All I have ever asked for was the warmth of his arms to run to when I became battle wary. Recharge me and send me back into the good fight. While S.O. has read up some on the issues, and does come to the doctor. appts. and such..it is as if none of these things they are telling us really makes a impact and on one day its the theme of "he can't do any of those normal 8yr old things because he's not normal", and the next day it's "he needs to stop doing the not normal things and act normal". He's denied the normal and at the same time denied the not normal to the point that difficult child has no place inwhich to be. I really feel for you here, and hope that soon your husband will either step back and just be the support and strength you need or come to understand and accept how difficult child is, and work with that along with you. Well Wishes shaile [/QUOTE]
