[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 643242, member: 1631"] First off, I'm sending gentle hugs your way. I know what it is like to be physically abused by a child. When difficult child was younger it happened to me a lot. I can't remember if both of your kiddos are seeing psychiatrists and tdocs on a regular basis. For me when things were at their worse, I also needed to see a therapist. She really was very helpful. Be gentle with yourself. Sometimes we say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment. I'm sure there was a time when I told difficult child (and easy child/difficult child) to pack their bags and I would help them find some place to live. Was I proud of that? No but I was human and it felt like I was living in a battle zone 24/7. Whenever my difficult child was very physical where it became dangerous we would call his psychiatrist's office (which they thanked us for doing). My difficult child ended up hospitalized 6 times over a course of a few years because of his violence and eventually the doctors did find a medication that helped control the violence. I know you have the extra burden of being a single parent so it is hard for you to find some "me" time but if there is any way possible I highly recommend it. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
