[quote=Anonymous] Before I sent mine to residential treatment, I spent a lot of time making sure everyone was safe and a lot of time avoiding my son. I have a hobby that I enjoy and I was unbelievably Productive. It was a great escape. I also took time off work to take art classes - I hadn’t done this before because the classes were so expensive. But I needed it and Lord knows I wasn’t taking my son on a vacation so I had to use my leave somehow.

Another thing I did was take up weight lifting and I worked hard on developing healthy eating habits for me. I started going to the gym at 5:30 am and put in a good workout before I had to face the day.

I got a house cleaner for every other week so I could get rid of that stressor.

Last thing I did was focus on getting toxicity out of my life. That included eating and emotional - I didn’t go so far as to change my cleaning products and hygiene products.  And, Obviously I couldn’t get rid of my son, but I could change how I reacted to him.

Good luck OP. I hope things get better for you. [/quote]
