[quote=Anonymous]OP I sympathize. I have two special needs children and it is overwhelming. My husband doesn't really get involved at all and I find it infuriating that it all falls on me. He even finds my one child's bad behavior funny (which it can be at times but I won't laugh in front of my child if he's hitting, screaming or saying mean things). I have intense guilt because my 15 year old refuses meds and I've never been able to really help him much. I just lend a sympathetic ear and add suggestions that I hope he will consider. I have a two hour break when school is in session. The rest of the day I'm shuttling them to sports, therapies and drs appointments and then helping with homework as I cook and then collapsing at 1am once I've helped my high schooler with several more hours of homework. Happiness sometimes seems so unrealistic for me.[/quote]
