[QUOTE="On_Call, post: 13163, member: 3211"] Amy, I also have been dealing with the majority of difficult child's issues for almost 7 years now. It is only in the last 6 months that husband has actually seen and been a target of the meltdowns, etc. I know how you feel. I felt really bad for husband the last two meltdowns that happened at home, because our difficult child can be extremely verbally abusive to whomever is dealing directly with him. I have some limited detachment capability, but husband does not. It is hurtful to watch. I know first hand. I also know that feeling of being glad someone else has seen what you've seen and knows how frightening it can be. difficult child was hospitalized once when he was 7 and the doctors sent him home less than 48 hours later saying he didn't need to be there. Within 6 months or so, he was back in. He was an angel there for 2 or 3 days. I went to a counseling session and he flipped during it and had to be removed back to the children's ward immediately. I sat there and cried - cried because he was having another emotional breakdown and because now finally the staff had witnessed it and I felt he might get the help he needed. I just posted less than 2 weeks ago that husband had experienced a similar episode as your husband. It is hard. I have been dealing with the brunt of the stuff for so long that it wears on you - and how my husband handles things is completely different from the wy I would handle things. We attempt to be on the same page, but it's hard in the heat of the situation. {{{ hugs }}} to you and husband. [/QUOTE]
