[QUOTE="KTMom91, post: 256848, member: 4040"] I think we're on a heightened state of alert so often and for so long that we begin to, for lack of a better term, make ourselves crazy. I wouldn't say it's contagious - I didn't catch Miss KT's ADHD - but it's an additional stress on me dealing with school and docs and medications and behavior and and and...and it does wear a person down. I've barely worked since August, with knee surgery and gallbladder surgery, I'm an emotional eater, I'm probably close to 100 pounds overweight, I'm now diabetic; Miss KT graduates from high school in June, turns 18 in August, and she has no clue; Hubby works hard at work but not at home, so things that I wasn't able to do because of my illnesses haven't been done, and that's more stress; finances are uncertain because I haven't worked, and I can expect no help from Useless Boy or his equally useless mother regarding Miss KT's senior year expenses. And I'm tired. No one understands but another warrior parent. [/QUOTE]
