[QUOTE="bran155, post: 203126"] I am so, so sorry you are going through all of this. I feel for you and can relate. I wish I had a dollar for every time I have told my husband the very same thing you told yours. I still don't know why he is here, I think if I were him I would have left by now. You know why they stay? They LOVE us. He loves you and your difficult child is part of the package. He sounds like a good man!!! :) When I am feeling really overwhelmed I try to think about the blessings I do have and my husband is one of them. As is yours. I know that is extremely hard to do when life just keeps getting harder. It is hard to see the sunlight when we live in the middle of a storm. I struggle with that daily!!! The rages and the abuse that we endure has to be the hardest part of raising a difficult child. I don't know how I have made it this far. My difficult child is 17 and is still abusing me. The violence has subsided a bit, however the verbal abuse is worse than ever. I know the feeling of walking on eggshells so as to not set the "bomb" off. It is much like living in a prison. It is hard to be free, so to speak. Have you talked with the psychiatrist about the violence? Maybe the medications need a change. What about putting him in the hospital or even a partial hospitalization, day treatment? Do you have access to the crisis team? You need to have a plan in place, a safety plan, for when he becomes completely out of control. My daughter knows if she gets too out of hand I will call the police. I have done that several times. Shoot, I know half of the police force personally by now. lol I have been lucky, the authorities in my town have been very kind and accomidating to both myself and my difficult child. I hope you call the doctor for your wrist. You need to take care of yourself too. I wish I had some words of wisdom to share, I too am still looking for the answers. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
