[QUOTE="bran155, post: 168890"] Hello and welcome, you have found a wonderful place to vent. Everyone here is so kind and knowledgeable. When I was reading your post I felt like you were talking about me. I have some of the same issues, my older child, difficult child is 17 and she makes me crazy. My younger son does act out when she is home. She was away for almost 2 years at a Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and since she has been home (since feb) my life is upside down. I too want to run away, I hate being home and feel so overwhelmed myself. Then, I too feel horrible guilt and get really down on myself. So you are not alone!!! Plenty of us know exactly what are you are going through. Raising children with special needs is no easy task, it seems like it never ends!!! I would be a hypocrite to give you any advise as I am still feeling so much like you. I think we both need to seek therapy. We need an outlet that is just about us, not our children. When you have no time and no money this can be a bit difficult. I know firsthand. Others will be along with their words of wisdom. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
