[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 565585, member: 1233"] (((((hugs))))) I am so very sorry. Why is it that we have so very many kids nowadays who have life goals of living at home with Mommy and Daddy and having every need/whim taken care of for them? Sure the IDEA can be tempting at times, but humans generally have a natural drive to go and do and conquer and achieve. I just cannot figure out why so many are so determined to NOT do those things. The idea of living with my parents forever is horrifying. It was even MORE horrifying when I was in my teens/twenties. I [I]wanted[/I] to go out and achieve something, to make my mark on the world. Can you get husband to focus on the twins rather than on difficult child to help him through the season? Would he talk to a therapist? What would happen if you went to the doctor with him (medical doctor) and asked for medications to help him through this period? It is devastating to think it is all finally going to be okay and then to have that ripped away. I know I had to go to the doctor with husband and tell her that he needed medications. A few weeks later he thanked me because it made such a big difference and he didn't even realize that the difference needed to happen. [/QUOTE]
