I completely agree with Lorraine....and Lucy has given some good advice as well; but in the long run, you have to look at your entire family for-- or at the sake of ---one child. As Lucy points out, it's hard to make a decision when you're in the middle of 'a war'...and living with these kids IS a war zone. Not nice, not pretty, and always...the mother is hoping 'just this once, just this one time, maybe if we only do----'
And yet, much of the time, this just doesn't matter. Keep in mind that YOU and your family did NOT cause these problems. The child HAD these problems to begin with. You're only trying to 'un-do' what's already been 'done'.
And you'll have to decide if the 'trying' is worth 'un-doing' the rest of your family and husband.
Believe me, many of us have been in your shoes and heart. It's killing to consider 'giving this child to someone else'....but at least you have someone willing to take him for awhile. This is something I'd do, just to take a breather and be able to talk to your husband and the rest of your family who has to endure this child's behaviors.
Good luck.
Sincerely,
Linny
