[QUOTE="Steely, post: 414739, member: 3301"] I do not have experience with the foster system so I will let others respond on that issue. I know Star has been through it and back as has Timer Lady, and I would definitely seek out their advice. However, I can completely relate to being a single mom trying to raise a defiant difficult child. I developed severe PTSD over it all, and this sounds like what you are struggling with as well. That crackling sound in your head, sounds like you are having a PTSD flash back, probably triggered by something your difficult child is doing in that moment. I know there are some new treatments for PTSD. EMDR (sp?) I have heard is wonderful. I can completely relate to living the way you are - and when Matt turned 17 I could no longer could do it either. I sent him to residential at that point. Regardless, I still get triggered now when I am around him, and I still have nightmares and flashbacks. Raising these kids could be the hardest thing that any one person might have to do - it is just constant, in your face, chaos, stress, and abuse. Hugs [/QUOTE]
