Welcome, Yellowrose.

I've gone the med route and counseling too. You really do have your hands full with your boys with your husband not home during the week. Makes me grateful to know that at least my ex was home during the week when my girls were small.

I've decided to boycott Christmas this year... I just couldn't handle the shopping, the decorating, whatnot with the depression and trying to cope with the big changes in my life this past year or two. I too can't enjoy the holidays this year.

Is there anyway you can get help while your husband is gone during the week? A relative or a friend who could come by and give you a break? I had four girls all close in age, and if I didn't get a break from caring for them when they were small--even though none of them had ADHD--I think I would have gone nuts. Three of them were in diapers at one time.

Sounds like you need a break. I'm not on the boards here very often and don't have much chance to post, but I'll try to keep up here if you want to PM or chat. I usually try to get notified by email of posts here. ((((hugs)))))
