[QUOTE="DazedandConfused, post: 43215, member: 831"] Thank you all for your understanding, gentle words, and hugs. I'm so very grateful for you all and this website. Things are better and all is quiet. I dropped off the difficult children at the water park in a neighboring city. I always buy them season passes every year and they come in handy to get them out of my hair. I didn't pick them up until just after the park closes at 6pm. Then driving home, I called husband on his cell and ranted, raved, railed, and vented. Vented, railed, raved, and ranted. husband lent a very sympathic and understanding ear. He acknowledges that I am on the front lines with the difficult children and worries for my sanity of because of that. He specifically asked if I was reading and posting here because he knows how much this site has helped me. When I got home, I had so much to do. Not much relaxing, but plenty of quiet in which to get things done. So, I had some time to collect myself and recharge my batteries a bit. Then I went to visit my own Mom and give her my Mother's day present to her. She also expressed her worry about me (geez, does it show that much??) and my mental health because of the difficult children. She loves them dearly, but knows what a struggle it is to raise them. husband calls me and when I pick up he sweetly says, "I love you and have I told you how crazy I am about you?" We'll be married 20 years on Thursday. When he's home, he always makes sure to take the difficult children somewhere with him to give me some peace. He already has plans for Memorial day weekend for himself and the difficult children. He is also going to take Son with him for two weeks when school is out. With one difficult child gone, the other doesn't have someone to fight with and our house really quiets down. I do feel much better now. The difficult children were well-behaved this evening. Daughter didn't even put up a fight when it was time to get off the computer. Like Scarlett Ohara says, "Tomorrow is another day" [/QUOTE]
