[QUOTE="slsh, post: 128512, member: 8"] Sharon, It breaks my heart to know you are being subjected to this. Truly. We should have the right to feel safe in our own homes. While I can understand objectively why psychiatrist wants to avoid a hospitalization, at the same time... at what cost to you? I'm sure you've scoured the place for services, but I think it's time to do again for respite on a regular basis. As I typed that, I was thinking, didn't you at one point have respite? I could be confused but... you most definitely need to get a break. I know you and husband are really good at tag team parenting but sometimes I would think respite at the same time would be nice too. Time is the only thing that ever got me past the anger/hurt/resentment over thank you's behaviors. I do know in the thick of the worst of it (pre Residential Treatment Center (RTC)), I had very negative feelings towards him for an extended period of time. It was a miserable way to live. We're not supposed to feel that way toward our kids, no matter what, but when our kids are abusers... well, it just gets really complicated. I worry for you, Sharon. I hate that you're subjected to what sounds like his very unstable moods right now. You're a dear lady and ... well, I ache for you. Sending many gentle hugs and crossing fingers, toes, and eyes that the medication tweaking will help calm things down. [/QUOTE]
