[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 611511, member: 1550"] Well, first of all, you can not take care of everyone else when your kids are having problems. There must be other siblings, friends, or a health care professional who can help care for your sick grandfather and father. You can't do it all alone and shouldn't try. As for this one and that one having a nervous breakdown, you actually sound as stressed as they probably are and are not in any shape to be their caregivers either. There is no way you are in shape to take on another kid, regardless of the situation. They need to find real professionals to do that. If you don't relax, you will not stay healthy yourself and you matter!! I don't know what medications your son is taking because you don't have a signature. But it doesn't sound as if his behavior is an emergency right now so I'd try to calm myself down. Same thing with your daughter. She is probably somewhere on the high functioning end of the spectrum and is really doing ok with some typical quirks. Therapy doesn't help that...medications can maybe help calm her down, but again it isn't an emergency. If she tries to argue with you, try not to engage her. As for your ex, don't answer the phone when he calls you if all he wants to do is give you grief. You divorced him so ya didn't HAVE to talk to him, so don't! The very first thing you need to do in my opinion is get a therapist for yourself. If necessary, go to your county mental health center. They operate on a sliding scale. I am sorry you are so stressed. I was told not to make any serious decisions when I was stressed. I think you should calm down the best you can and take care of yourself right now. Hugs and take care!!! [/QUOTE]
