[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 56599, member: 805"] I wish words could make you feel better. If I could give you any advice, it would be to take a deep breath and take stock of the choices you have made in the last year. You pulled the boys out of school to homeschool and you moved. Not sure how far you moved, but both of those things definately can upset the apple cart - especially with adhd kids who like things structured and don't do well with change. Additionally, if the boys do have lds, homeschooling is a lot more challenging since there are different ways to teach different lds. Homeschooling is not for everyone. If you feel it's not working for your family, it's time to check out the new local schools. Since you've moved, it's going to be a different system. You never know, you could be pleasently suprised! As far as the relationship between you and your husband, it sounds really stressed right now. I think I would suggest a respite weekend for you. If you are able to swing it financially, I would ask your husband to take off early on a friday so you can head out for a weekend break. Go to a local (or not so local) hotel and pamper youself. If the spa treatment and the manicure arent' practical, grab some bubble bath and soak in the tub at the hotel in peace and quiet. Take a couple mags and a good book, order room service and watch a good show on tv. Take a nice walk and do some window shopping, enjoy a meal all alone without having to plan it, cook it, or do the dishes. Relax some more and sleep in the next moring with no schedule, noone to fix breakfast for and no sound! During the time you are away, do some thinking about your life and your family. I'm sure you love your boys, and that is what motivated you to homeschool - wanting the best for them. But, it may not be what is the best for you. You count too. I also wonder if it may be time to take the boys for a new evaluation. They were originally diagnosis'd by your pediatrician doctor, have they seen a neuropdoc or a psychiatrist? It may be time to relook at the diagnosis's and the medication issue. Keep an open mind - it's a must with difficult children!!!! I hope you get a good rest tonight and tomorrow dawns just a little brighter for you. Sharon [/QUOTE]
