[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 66825, member: 3419"] {{{{hugs}}}} I agree, get out of your house. Go for a walk around the block. difficult child can be left alone for short times, right? Do you have enough $ saved up for a massage? I would consider upping your medications, too. I don't know what you're on. Do you have friends from church or anything you can call? Even a crisis hotline? They're free. I know how you feel about looking at other people, their perfect kids with-perfect smiles, perfect hair ribbons, perfect hugs, perfect pkgs of crayons, not a single one broken, and feeling that huge sense of loss, that "It's not fair!" feeling. It isn't. It will never be. Once I got over that (and sometimes it comes back, but not often) I did much, much better. Do you have anyone at all you can leave with-difficult child for just one night? So you can stay at a friend's or at a hotel? Sometimes I'd sit in the bathroom (even when I didn't have to go, but it's a small room with-a lock!), while difficult child was pounding on the door, and I just stared at the walls and did deep breathing, or I looked at a home decorating magazines or gardening magazines. Please take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
