I'll have to post and let everyone know how it goes when and if it happens about getting hubby to the T appt. I am pretty tired tonight and have a long day of errands tomorrow so hopefully things will get done and be all set soon for the bday preparations for the weekend. Jackie will be eleven.

If he is like my husband when he thinks of a therapist. He is thinking
you are wanting him to go so that he can be told what he is doing wrong.

So what he needs to understand is his ideas are wanted. He is going
to help figure out what things need to be changed to help make this
a easier way to get things going better for Jackie, so that its better
for you and him too. And that this will show you so much how much
he loves you.

Have you been pushed around all your life without pushing back. I think you need some pushing back lessons. Husband naps but you can't. Push back. He cannot nap but now you can. Kid torments you. He's the parent, you're the child, push back. The illness and remedy is within you, not in them nor for them. Sorry to sound so hard on you except that it seems you need hardness not softness nor sympathy. Life if often tough, so get tough with life.

I was broken as a child, you don't push back and stay healthy in the situation I was in, I don't expect you to understand nor do I intend to justify my inactions for things Michael. Thank you for your post and for sharing your thoughts. But I think things are fine now, I was just very upset my son kept waking up for three days out of a week. But the hard approach doesn't help me much since I get enough of that already. I am rather numb to it to be honest. I don't find it helpful at all and tend to brush over things said to me in a certain tone of voice, which iritates a certain someone...LOL! But I don't care, I can't sit here and be a pin cushion all the time for him.

All I know is I have had a horrible week and it's over now thankfully and I made it through it somehow and am gettin gmy paxil rx filled tomorrow, so with that in mind I doubt the weepiness I've been feeling sticks around for much longer. That was part of where I was at when I posted this originally. I would like to see this thread die though, I don't feel the need to rant on about my family situation anymore now that I got it out of my system.
