[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 263655, member: 3388"] Kjs, I hope the medications kick in soon and you're feeling better!!! It is tough enough dealing with an out of control difficult child - It is so much harder being sick at the same time... I used to be involved in difficult children's school work. Then, after a very rough period, difficult child 1's therapist suggested that I take care of issues at home, let the teachers handle issues at school. For us, this turned out to be excellent advice. I couldn't do it all - Something had to give. Not having to deal with homework issues made our lives so much easier... From personal experience, I found that the best thing I can do when things are really rough, is to ignore as much of my difficult children's behavior as possible. I will not argue with them as this only fuels the fire. Believe me, I learned this the HARD way!!! difficult child 1 enjoys, actually loves, a good argument. He lives for chaos. When it doesn't happen, he backs off, not always quick enough, but at least he retreats... He'll actually tell me that I'm "no fun." It sounds like you really need a break from your difficult child. If you do something you enjoy just for you, it'll make dealing with your difficult child a bit easier. Nothing is worse than not being appreciated and having to take care of everyone and everything around you 24/7. Just know, I'm thinking of you... Hugs... WFEN [/QUOTE]
