[QUOTE="DDD, post: 537627, member: 35"] Sending supportive hugs. I lived "on the edge" for years with GFGmom and really doubted I'd survive the constant cloud of potential doom. When easy child/difficult child got to his teens I was back to fearing each call or pacing in anticipation of the next hoped for call. I do understand. You are doing an awesome job. One "trick" I used a couple of time when I was completely drained might help if you can trust husband or your easy child. When I literally felt like I was on the verge of falling apart for lack of sleep I sat down and asked another family member to be "in charge of the phone". They promised they would come awaken me immediately if a call came in. (by the way, a call never did come in on those few occasions) That allowed me to fall sound assleep with-o keep my ear on alert for the phone. I don't remember what the levels are for sleep but, lol, I got to the level where you actually rejuvenate instead of just hovering in a light doze. Fingers crossed for you. DDD [/QUOTE]
