[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 482168, member: 3930"] Thanks everyone. Yes, difficult child is still 9 and things are getting tougher everyday. We are finally hopefully sort of on a waiting list for a neuropsychologist evaluation - at least the pediatrician finally phoned in a referral and I called to ask them what to expect next. The said they will call in 4-6 weeks to do a history/intake and then if we are the right fit, it will be around Feb/Mar that he is seen. That was around Halloween. All I want is for my child to be healthy and happy. Seems such a simple request. Yeah right. I don't want him to feel so sad, angry, unhappy, worthless - etc. I have researched and read everything I can get my hands on for ideas how to help him. Sometimes I feel like he would be better off without me. I haven't been dealing with all of this very well - and sometimes he makes me soooo angry I snap. A lot of yelling/screaming and getting a crazy look in my eye when he pushes me to the absolute limit. I don't know how to cope better. I know it doesn't help and makes things much worse. I spend every second of my life either fighting FOR him or WITH him. It's not fair to my younger son, who is imitating him more and more everyday by hitting himself, saying no one loves me, I hate myself, etc. It's awful. I wish I knew what to do to change this entire situation. We are in a downward spiral. :( [/QUOTE]
