[quote=Anonymous]How old is your child? We are doing better, but only after years of therapy for me, therapy for child, couples therapy. It has taken a long time to find the *right* therapists, too. Constant experimentation, OP. If things aren't working, it's because some variable needs to be changed. In general, I've tried to defer to meeting my own needs over meeting my kid's. Why? I know that in general (and historically), I'm vastly under-satisfying my own needs and vastly over-satisfying my son's. It's been a helpful rule of thumb, tbh. For example: if you need a date night, that can and should be prioritized over the fear that your son has a tantrum (assuming that you can find the right caregiver, of course). [/quote]
