We've been going through the same thing and it's such a hard thing to admit: this is hard. What we waited, prayed and cried for is wearing us out. If it's not our son's adjustment issues (loud, aggressive, clingy), it's our 3 year old daughter's adjustment to having him here (whining, clingy, hitting, crying). It's hard on our marriage (whining, clinging, crying, yelling). But it's been 4 months now and tonight at dinner (out) our son made the sign for "more" instead of yelling, throwing food or hitting and you would have thought he had created world peace the way we acted and felt.
It's coming together but it took that one moment tonight for me to feel like we're all in this together. We haven't won the war but what a victorious battle this was!
Hang in there. I understand as do so many others. Good for you for being honest.
