[QUOTE="busywend, post: 339487, member: 391"] Welcome! Being taken seriously is half the battle. Hopefully you can get the help you need now. Coping strategies: 1.) Get time away by yourself. Hard to do, I know. But, seriously worth it. Take a night every week to just go stroll the mall, or go to Starbucks for coffee, Barnes & Noble for some quiet reading. 2.) Find a way for you & husband to get some time alone. 3.) BE sure you and husband stick together, do not disagree in front of difficult child - these kids have a way of pushing parents apart. 4.) Let go of some parenting techniques that are not working. If it does not work after years of trying it is not going to suddenly start working. We have all gone back and tried the same things over and over again with the hope it might stick, but if it is not helping the situation try something new. Maybe even non-traditional. Think out of the box. [/QUOTE]
