Our kids range in age from 2 - 15! ; ) Our 2 year old is extremely hyper, he goes non-stop, I mean NON-STOP from 6:30 AM until 10:00 or 10:30 PM. If you put him to bed before he's ready he vomits because he's just too wound up. We try to wind him down, but you have to see it to believe it. He screeches a lot too, and I get bad migraines, sometimes lasting 2, 4, 6 days. So my patience gets very thin.
If we'd had him first, I can't imagine we'd have had 4. You'll know if and when you can handle more. If you only have 1, then that's okay too, you'll be a great mom to him, and love him with all your heart. I'm so proud of you and your husband for putting so much into the counseling and trying so hard to work through all of this. That's so incredible.
My hubby doesn't treat me like a child, but sometimes I think he must think I act like one. He's so patient, he'd never say anything to me. My husband didn't want to go to therapy either, he'd go for me, but not for him. He'd go for the family, but again, not for him. But I don't think he needs it, he's pretty together. Of course who couldn't use a little insight?!
It's great if his T can explain what's going on with you so that your husband can understand it. My husband has offered to go, but I don't want him to. So far I don't think there's anything he needs to understand that I haven't explained that he hasn't accepted. I have ADD, our kids have ADD, I also have anxiety and severe migraines. He seems to understand pretty well, and he's good about it. Besides, "that's MINE!!!!! Mine! Do you hear me Mine! Get offa my therapy!" stomp, stomp, stomp! thumb in mouth, pout! LOL When he asked if he could go, I said, "No you can't go to MY therapy!" He said, "Okay, all I did was ask!" LOL Poor guy was just trying to help! ; )
