[QUOTE="Andy, post: 441379, member: 5096"] 15 - 20 minutes of torture is way exhausting! Especially in a moving vehicle that you are driving and the stress started way before the car started! Yes, I know you didn't write the statement to the therapist. Cranky judgemental neighbors just add to the stress. I would love to know what a certain neighbor of mine is telling people about difficult child. She has already made it clear that he is disrespectful to ALL adults (not true - just her) She will be hard pressed to find someone who knows him to agree with her. Our problem is that she knew him through his nightmare years and believes he is still doing the nasty things he did 3 years ago. She is so against everything that I have allowed difficult child to do because she doesn't want her son (3 months younger) doing those things and because our discipline styles are so different ofcourse I am not raising my son right - no wonder he will end up in legal trouble some day! (her thoughts). We live different lives with different lifestyles - of course difficult child will be doing things differently. However, the trouble comes when her son wants to be like difficult child and is not allowed to so I get to suffer the judgments from her. I know you have very hard days at times. You do have great ideas on how to get through them and I see a strength in you to stand up to the decisions you have made (like keeping the X-Box until after the appointment). I admire your strength and choices you make to get throught the difficult days like today. Those of us who have lived through moments and hours and days like that know that many experts don't have a clue on how intense life can get. Did therapist say anything about difficult child's mood today? Something like, "Oh, now I see a little better what you are dealing with!"? I wish your neighbors didn't make you feel like you were being judged so often. They don't have a clue what a great mom you are. You really are! [/QUOTE]
