[QUOTE="Christy, post: 179559, member: 225"] been there done that I also gave up my job due to difficult child. Daycare was a nightmare (eventually hired a nanny) and even after difficult child got to full day school and I was able to get home in time for the bus, I missed tons of work due to psychiatrist appts, therapist appts, trouble at school, etc... Our difficult child has put us through the wringer. We have completely turned our lives inside out for this little guy and so far, it's not helped. Our son was adopted by us through the foster system at age four, and I will admit that as we deal with one crisis after another, it is easy to fantasize about how easy life would be had we not signed on the dotted line! We even had the chance to "try before your buy" so to speak and we still did it! If I had it to do again, I can't say that I would. HOWEVER, that being said, we love our son as I am sure you love yours! During the time that my difficult child is at psychiatric hospital, husband and I should be enjoying the peace but we are miserable without our son! It is funny how one perspective changes during a time like this. It is good to vent and I understand your feelings completely. I hope your SD meeting went well and you receive some support that makes things ewasier. Good Luck, Christy [/QUOTE]
