Ziggy1, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. It sounds like you are working on getting some help and that's wonderful. I hope the things you find and choose are going to relieve that strain we both know all too well.

For me, it's almost reached a point where finding help is just "one more thing to do" if that makes sense. Some days are better, some days are manageable. Some days are two steps past awful. But I'm trying. I'm finding a few reliable friends who are willing to help out with our son. Just getting him out of the house and around other people is huge.

Thanks again. I really need to add this site to my regular visiting places. So many kind and understanding people here!
