[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 480287, member: 3512"] I have to admit I am EXHAUSTED. For her entire 9 years I have done battle with this child. I spend most of my time wishing for her to grow up fast so that maybe the problems will go away. I want to enjoy my daughter, I want to be able to look forward to spending time together rather than dreading when the next explosion is going to occur. I could have written this just about every day for the past 10 years. You know how they say that actually being abused is "easier" than constantly dreading the abuse? It's true with the explosive child also. I can never relax and really enjoy it when we're having a good time with difficult child because I know it can change on a dime. I honestly don't know how we've made it through the last ten years. difficult child also constantly says that he wants to do better/have friends/be good but can't/doesn't know how. My heart breaks for all these kids and all of us as their parents. Today has been a very depressing day for me and I'm sorry I'm not offering any words of wisdom but my difficult child is home on suspension AGAIN and I just don't know where we're going from here. All I know is that I definitely feel better knowing I am not alone but I also feel constantly guilty. [/QUOTE]
