[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 101425, member: 1722"] {{{Hugs}}} Many of us have been where you are tonight. Your head is going to hurt if you keep slamming it into the wall. It can all be too much, especially as the busy holiday season approaches and our children have more difficulty. My Duckie will be seven in January, about the same age as your little girl. Have I seen growth in the last few years? Definitely. But her future is still what I worry for in the middle of the night. Raising a difficult child is a marathon, not a sprint. You can't give her more than what you have. And you need to find a way to take time for yourself so that your reserves are replenished. Find something that speaks to your heart and pursue it, something that gives you joy with very little stress. I volunteer, but I know another mother of a difficult child that creates quilts for nursing home patients. Others go to bingo or join book clubs. The point is, however, that we've found something we can enjoy despite our struggles in parenting difficult children. [/QUOTE]
