[QUOTE="BackintheSaddle, post: 623272, member: 17503"] Hello everyone...I just love hearing from you guys...I've been really busy at work and having to work at nights too but no, sleep isn't any better...I seem to be strong enough to handle alot of stress in either my job or at home but not both!...;-)...I haven't heard from difficult child in 2 weeks...he's not responding to my texts at all and I've let him be for now so that while he's in his classes, he can't blame me for his ultimate bad grades (like he has for that last 3 years)...my husband's birthday was on Monday and difficult child did text him 'happy birthday' at least but that was it... you won't believe what happened...you thought my family of origin was awful so far? well, they sent husband a birthday card! every birthday, they always send a card that has $100 in it...so husband and I had an argument over what to do with it...I know that it was a manipulation by them to try and divide me and husband...they want to show that I'm the crazy one so they sent that to him in hopes he'd accept it, take the money, and then they could believe that he was on their 'side'....that I was the problem-- which has been their belief all along...they've tried to divide us all along and this was yet another way...husband didn't see it but it was obvious to me...I grew up with these people and their cruel manipulations...they've always made me feel like I'm worthless and no man could love me without some reason-- my husband is only with me, they have said, because I make more money than he does...even though we've been married 17 years now and clearly love each other...it took a lot of therapy to see that pattern but it's clearly there...why else would they send a card like that to him when the last thing they said to him was how much he'd screwed up difficult child, husband is a 'hot head', he shouldn't have 'let me' call 911, and so on...we ended up not opening it and putting 'return to sender' on it...they should have gotten it back yesterday so maybe it'll be awhile before we hear from them again! It's hard to even write about this because it's such clear evidence of how crazy my family is and makes me question myself over and over again... Sleeping hasn't improved and I've been waking up with my heart racing which has happened in the past when I was stressed (last time was when difficult child was first getting violent and scary in 10th grade)...I decided to go in to see my doctor tomorrow and talk to her about all my physical symptoms...she tends to think of natural remedies so I'm sure she'll have good suggestions...I have diabetes and started to worry about the impact on my long-term health with all this unceasing drama...I've been trying melatonin and tylenol pm which get me to sleep but then I wake up and can't go back (and yes, 3am seems to be a regular time!)...going to go to bed early tonight (now) but wanted to touch base with you all...thanks for tolerating all this yucky dysfunction that I've been trying to wade through...
