[QUOTE="Suz, post: 393272, member: 29"] Nancy, the truth is, you can't go through this kind of ongoing stress/disappointment/fear without falling apart. You need to give yourself permission to be human and crumble or the stress of trying to hold yourself together will kill you. Sobbing into a pillow helps reduce the noise. So does sobbing when you have the shower going full tilt. What you don't want to do is fall apart in front of difficult child. It's the old "never let them see you sweat" mentality. difficult child needs to think you are a rock and confident in your decision even if you feel like a wet noodle. Can you and husband go away for a weekend or something? It doesn't matter where, just a change of scenery to distract you and give you two a chance to distance yourselves physically and hopefully distance yourself a bit psychologically as well.
