Don't beat yourself up--you're doing what needs to be done. <br /><br />Each day, start out with a deeeeep breath, and mentally list your blessings (comfortable bed, nice home, God-given talents, food on the table etc.). Take each day as it comes. <br /><br />As for the shows, and everything else you have on your plate--it will all work out.<br /><br />Blessings to you and your family.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07545020113679133121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-76732504426912250622009-09-23T07:00:20.907-04:002009-09-23T07:00:20.907-04:00This is a GREAT thing, Kerry.

We also had in-home assessments and therapy, it's great for them to work with you all at home. The kids are more relaxed, and their true personalities and issues present as they are. The therapist is there to help you all. Let your life be an open book, it's the only way he or she can help you.<br /><br />Just keep plowing through, never give up. You do the best you can with what you have to work with. If Ron has a bad day, you step up. If you're having a bad day, Ron needs to step up. Support each other, and also give yourselves time away from home. Even if it's just to go get an ice cream and take a drive. It'll rejuvenate you.<br /><br />You love him, that's evident. Just keep loving him. Take care.Lori Michaudnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-24984962822999572422009-09-22T21:11:40.050-04:002009-09-22T21:11:40.050-04:00Cheers to you Kerry.

But don't forget that not only will you learn things that might work better for Andrew, the therapist will learn as well. S/he will see Andrew in his real environment, surrounded with siblings, homework and so forth, as opposed to always seeing him in a sterile office setting. Two hours sounds like a long session but I suspect it takes around an hour for everyone to forget the therapist is there and to 'act natural'. S/he will be there when a crisis takes place and can offer you immediate guidance. And she will also witness the very possibility that perhaps her guidance does not work either. I think this will help you and Ron enormously, but I suspect it will also help the therapist to really see Andrew, to understand better what he is struggling with, thereby hopefully being able to offer truly effective solutions.joannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386450182083594136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-61842552799750201182009-09-22T13:39:06.006-04:002009-09-22T13:39:06.006-04:00I feel your pain, only with just one child (now te...I feel your pain, only with just one child (now teen), the battles are always with me...the mood swings and med swings make it seem like a bad tennis match trying to keep up. I end up shellshocked most evenings and it sucks the creativity from the sould. And DH works out of town most weeks (lucky for him and not always for me) so he just doesn't get it. I hope the therapy is helpful...wish someone had suggested something like it for us years ago...And just know that you do the best you can, but no one ever said it would be so hard at times, did they (and if they did, they had no idea).Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01429847312885661066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-79561631160931740942009-09-22T13:04:22.243-04:002009-09-22T13:04:22.243-04:00i am sure the therapists aren't there to judge...i am sure the therapists aren't there to judge, they are just there to help. and as long as you are doing this to be the best help to andrew that you can be, no one will think you are a bad mom.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862737901523152444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19771841.post-57202594147792262112009-09-22T12:54:33.492-04:002009-09-22T12:54:33.492-04:00meltdowns, homework issues, kids not getting along...meltdowns, homework issues, kids not getting along...I think all this is normal...at least is in my house.
