[QUOTE="nvts, post: 135309, member: 3814"] Hi! Don't crawl under a rock, it hurts and it's dirty! Did you ever stop to think that you should be wiped out? Your daughter is running you ragged and your husband is Cleopatra (Queen of De-Nile!). IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM IS THIS A DIG AT THE MALES ON THIS BOARD: Most dad's are in direct ignorance with what we go through. There are those who've finally "come to the dark side" and wake up to the situation, there are those who actually step up, but the vast majority take their cues from us OR deny that there's a problem. You are ABSOLUTELY not alone in this! Honestly, you might want to take a look at quite a few of the signatures of the Moms on the board. Quite a few list depression and a variety of medications that they themselves are taking to alleviate some of the stress that they encounter daily while raising a difficult child. OR they're suffering from a lot of physical ailments because their priority is the difficult child rather than taking care of themselves. Talking to a professional for yourself is probably one of the best gifts that you can give yourself. Please consider this as you are going through a really, really tough time right now and you're doing it without the support of your husband. There's no shame in looking out for yourself. If you're in such a state, you're not going to be able to fight the fight for you OR for your daughter. Remember: you signed up to be her Mom, not her best friend. I'm working on my "second skin". I don't care if they like me, I just want to make sure that they grow up to be respectful, respectABLE human beings. Anything other than that is just icing on the cake! My latest and greatest outlook on life is: Life is NOT a bowl of cherries - it's more like a jar of jalopenos: whatever I do today will burn my :censored2: tomorrow! :holymoly::surprise::nonono: Keep your chin up, go talk to someone who's soul focus will be YOU and your situation and keep talking to us! We know where you are and will be here to help you get where you need to be! Feel better honey! Beth [/QUOTE]
