[quote=Anonymous]That sounds really rough. Honestly, do something nice for yourself. You take care of three people with special needs 24/7. That's amazing. Everything you're feeling is completely valid, and I am glad you are enjoying the time alone tonight. Maybe just start saying "no" to these things a few more times to get the space you need. You can cook if you want, buy presents, etc, but leave it to the rest of your family to bring to the event and save yourself any stress. It may not change anything in the dynamics of the relationship with your DH or kids, but might give you that much-needed break without ruffling too many feathers. After all, burning out IS a type of sickness. Those "straw that broke the camel's back moments" are definitely things you should listen to and give yourself time without being hard on yourself. It's just as valid as your husband feeling like he needs to run on his schedule forsaking everything else because he is ADHD. So sorry you had a rough night.[/quote]
