Thanks for sharing Barb, you're an inspiration!

It's good to hear that what I'm experiencing is not uncommon. Not that I would wish it on anyone, but it's nice to know I'm not alone, or doing something wrong. I'm trying to tell myself that we have worked through difficult patches before, and I have always been so pleased that we did so. I'm determined to work through this one too, and reach my mini-goal of 9 months. That time will bring a new challenge, as that's when I return to work one day a week. I know it's not much, but it's quite a long day, so I'll be interested to see how things are going then, and how we will work around my work day. I really want to do it though, and that's partly what's kept us going all this time, the fact that I've been so stubborn LOL!

I guess I have to accept (yet again) that this may never be an easy path, and just take the good with the bad. I believe I'm doing what's best for my son, and that's what matters
