[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 145407, member: 53"] Okay, for him to step up YOU need to step back........not criticizing how you handled this in past, but get the feeling YOU have basically insulated husband......stand back and let him learn......granted he will make mistakes, but just as YOU learned so will he........it took both of you to create this child, so let him have a true look at the situation. I tried to insulate my husband for the longest time. I thought I was helping, but never let my husband see the real picture of what was happening to difficult child and me. You've already gone thru some of the hardest knocks, step back and let someone else take control for awhile. It could help YOU. YOU CANNOT DO THIS ALONE......just my two cents.....but believe me it is easier when you are working together and not pulling all the weight yourself...... It seems to me your husband is willing to try, so let him slowly see what you have been dealing with....he will make mistakes, just as you did when you first began this journey......let him in on the frustration You have felt........sharing the burden makes it feel less lonely.......
