[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 27626, member: 3353"] I do think about that, Suz. Therapy or an anti-depressant, I mean. I was in therapy for a long time, actually. And that was the repeating theme then, too. Thanks, Suz. It took alot of courage to write that, and you handled it well. The criteria I have been using to decide whether to go back into therapy is whether I seem to be working through it. We had so many years when we were told the drug use or the behaviors were secondary to some toxic, elusive something no one could quite put a finger on. (It was here on the site that I came to realize difficult child's problems were related to the drug use, not the parenting ~ how long have I been here now? Three years? And twelve of believing it was me or husband or some combination thereof, something toxic in our family.) I was the mom at home, so of course that would be me. And I am angry about that lost time, those wasted years. But there is nothing I can do about it now. Isn't it funny Suz ~ I can hear your voice in my head right now saying "And how many more years are you going to spend the same way?" Did I get it right?!? Maybe now IS the time to think about an antidepressantand/or further therapy, Suz. I never have taken an anti-depressant, though I did try St John's Wort once. Barbara [/QUOTE]
