IRMAT, I haven't posted to you before (I don't think) but have read some of your posts so forgive me if you have already posted this. I notice you have 1 son and 1 daughter but 7 g/children and even a great grandchild so my question is who do all these g/children belong to and how old is your daughter because braces make me think of a girl who is around 14? So does your daughter still live with you.
I have a little g/son and he is the light of my life,he brings me so much joy. Do you see your g/children very often. I haven't seen you post about them. I am glad you have some new meds, I think they take a while to kick in tho. Do you work or have a social life and or hobbies sometimes if we can emersh ourselves in outside activities it helps to take our focus of the situation for a while. That also helps us be a little detached which is a good thing. Take care.
