[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 215413, member: 3388"] Debi, I agree with the others who believe you would benefit from finding yourself someone to talk to. You have absolutely no support at home and two very young children to take care of, not to mention your difficult child. I also think you should make an appointment to see your physician to rule out any underlying reasons why you're losing hair, weight, etc.. I know I'm probably way off here, but is there any chance your thyroid might be out of whack? I also agree with those who believe your difficult child will benefit from a thorough evaluation. We went through HE77 with our oldest, difficult child 1. It took a long time before we had the right diagnosis and were able to get him appropriate treatment. As far as you and husband are concerned, don't make any quick decisions. At this point in time, in my humble opinion, both of you are too stressed to see that there still could be light at the end of the tunnel. One thing you should know - If your difficult child has ODD/CDD?, and if he is anything like my difficult child 1 was, he enjoys creating chaos in your home. The only way to stop your difficult child from making your home a constant battleground, is if he sees you and husband are on the same page. I know at this point, this seems like an impossible task for you, but, somehow, when it comes to difficult child, you and husband need to be on the same side. My situation was different from yours (I may not be the best one to give you advice here) - husband is difficult child 1's biological father. However, it took husband and I many years before we were able to get on the same page as far as how to handle difficult child 1. Things got worse before they got better. However, once difficult child 1 knew he couldn't play mom against dad or visa versa, it took the steam out of his engine. Now, husband backs up all of my decisions concerning difficult child 1 even if privately he doesn't agree with them. And, I've learned to do the same. This has restored a bit of peace to our home and our relationship. I've got to pick up my difficult children at school now. I wish I knew someone who would take them for at least the rest of today, lol... I'm sorry things are so rough right now. Please stick around and vent when you need to. we'll be here for you...
