[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 148347, member: 4570"] Thank you all for you postings. My husband is a wonderful man in many ways but he basically refuses to help with any homework. I think husband is so tired of dealing with difficult child he bascially works 50-70 hours a week and offers very little support. Honestly, it is better sometimes because he does not agree with how I handle difficult child and we usually end up arguing which only adds to my stress. I am scared to modify homework because difficult child is SOOOO far behind where he should be for his age. I am scared if I modify the work he will only be that much further behind. The good news is the job I now have allows me to work from home and basically take time off as I need to. The really BAD news is that it is commission only and I use to be the major bread winner. I know that almost everyone on the board understands this...but I honestly am so overwhelmed I barely make it through the day. I am not sure medication will help because it does not change my situation. and most of all...I feel bad for difficult child and the daily struggles he endures and I can not fix it for him.... I appreciate everyone who posted...it makes me feel not so alone. No one understands unless you have a difficult child... Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
