[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 13166, member: 1991"] Marg's Man here - to provide (I hope) a point of view from the male side. In our circus I am the focus for most of the rages from difficult child 3. Part of this is due to the fact that I generally only see difficult child 3 when his medications are not on board. I leave for work pretty early usually less than an hour after he's taken them and when I eventually get home (typically 12-13 hours later) they have well and truly worn off. Combine that with the fact that I am tired and not at my sharpest and it is no wonder we clash. Partly it's because I don't have Marg's seemingly limitless patience. I get 'short' with him just when I shouldn't i.e. late in the evening when he's being rude to me (or more usually; Marg). I usually know when I am doing the wrong thing and, as soon as I realise it, I pull myself up - hopefully before he gets into full meltdown and completely kills all chance of settling for bed. Marg often says she hates being the peacemaker all the time and it breaks my heart that she feels this way. Don't get me wrong difficult child 3 and I are great mates. As often as my schedule allows we do things together and we get along really well. He often goes to the trains with me the days I go to the working bees and just last week we had a GREAT day at Sydney's Maritime Museum climbing all over the ships they have on display there. All in all, it is a GOOD thing that your husband has experienced a meltdown. Hopefully he will be more supportive of you and he most definitely should (unless a complete jerk) better understand what you have been going through. Marg's Man [/QUOTE]
