[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 395769, member: 3444"] I've had my struggles, too, DF. And I've felt just as horrible about it. I've wanted to make my difficult child 1 just disappear or send him someplace else to live. And then felt incredibly guilty for having those feelings, and then incredibly angry over the situation as a whole. My last little meltdown, I blew my stack and left the house for about an hour. Ended up driving down to difficult child 1's school parking lot, found a dark corner and bawled my eyes out for a while, then took a nap. I felt better when I woke up and decided to go home. Everyone was kinda walking around on eggshells the rest of the night and difficult child 1 was very apologetic for his behavior that had pushed me over the edge. Usually I can go up to my room and decompress, but sometimes it's good to just get out of the house. [/QUOTE]
