[QUOTE="specialk030, post: 146172, member: 3077"] Wow! Thank you for your replies! I agree I'm burnt out, however I don't have many options as far as getting away go. My family lives about 15 hours away. We live on a fairly large acreage on the outskirts of town so even just going to the library or taking a walk can be challenging (alone) Marg, thank you so much for breaking everything down, theres certainly a lot of information there that I will be trying to keep in my mind when the next flare up begins. You're very right about the routine thing, B thrives on a predictable schedule, he hates anything new. I suppose part of my frustration comes from fear of losing yet another job, I've had some incredible jobs that I totally adored, only to lose them because I had to take time off because one of the kids was sick, or school was closed, or difficult child 1 had to be in court, the list goes on... I'm watching my entire life fall apart around me and I feel totally helpless, and part of me blames the kids, I know it's wrong, I know I shouldn't blame them, but I just feel they are soooo ungrateful, so selfish, don't they know that if I don't work they will have nothing? Why can't they just give me a break, just once I would love for them to step back and go "Geez, maybe I wont fight with Mom today, she looks pretty tired" [/QUOTE]
