[QUOTE="southernmomma, post: 74493, member: 4037"] I fought with myself for hours deciding on which way would be the best for everyone involved and me and husband had told my mother in law that I wouldn't be attending the viewing,funeral or the wake because of difficult child. She "seemed" to understand and was OK with it. She knows how difficult child is and has even been helping me search for someone to help with a diagnosis. I know the reaction was due to stress,grieving, and all those other feelings that come with loosing a loved one. That's why I was suprised when she got upset with ME because I followed through with our first plan of action. She's been a very active part of difficult children' help/diagnosis. I felt horrible because everyone that was there wanted to see the kids and me, I just wasn't about to take him to where there was a lot of people for so many reaons. I knew I wouldn't be able to handle him amongst a few hundred people on top of the fact that they had a pool that was not protected by a gate. I guess as a parent so many things flash through your mind when you know first hand what your child is capable of. I just feel like sometimes I have to explain difficult children behavior in order to get people to understand the stuff I have to deal with or WHY I did what I did.It's almost like I'm fighting a loosing battle. I'm seriously considering getting some professional help as well. I am dealing with so much stuff right now. Between his (so far) unexplained behavaior, husband working 60+ hrs a week and going to school at night, my mother is battling lung cancer, my daughter sill needs my attention a lot, and husband's family (which is another story for another day), I feel like I'm loosing control. and I know that if I loose control, then I'm not going to adaquely help difficult child.
