[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 248694, member: 6705"] First things first - {{{{{HUGS}}}}} You are so definitely in the right place... I have a similar situation with stepdaughter so I understand the punching bag feeling... I have to say that you are more patient than I - I certainly couldn't homeschool! husband needs to be on the same page as you. If difficult child is on medications and can't behave in school then husband certainly knows something is wrong. If you can, sit down with husband and (calmly) explain your point of view - let him have his say too. Tell him how you feel when he takes difficult child's side. That right there can put a really nasty strain on a marriage and if the marriage isn't working, there's not much you can do for the kids. If husband won't listen - this has happened to me a couple of times, but fortunately it's the exception rather than the rule - document, document, document. Do you have a webcam on your computer? You can use it to record what's really happening. Remember - this is not your child - husband needs to be the one to take charge - if he won't - disengage! Refuse to do. And trust me, husband will see very quickly what's going on. Another possibility is a PHP (partial hospitalization program), which is part therapy, part school. May or may not work, but it's worth a look if you just can't do it. I know I couldn't. And last but not least... Get some time for yourself! No husband, no difficult child. Take care of you first. Great advice I got and it helps so much! {{{{{MORE HUGS}}}}} [/QUOTE]
