thanks jef. That was helpful.

Could you also recommend a sequence for the tapping. I

haven't done it in a while. IS it one sizes fits all?

In a word, tapping. Do you have Craig's free EFT manual? Are you

tapping on a regular basis? I know that it seems overwhelming at the

moment, but EFT can help you to get some balance back into your life.

I get the distinct impression that your husband is taking out all of

his frustrations on you. What is the nature of his disabilities? Was

it something that he caused himself or was it something that happened

to him through no fault of his own?

Well, two year olds are that way. Given the other situations going on

in your life right now, I do understand where you're coming from. Keep

in mind that it's not your son's fault. He probably senses the tension

going on and is trying to find some security in you.

I can understand your frustration and sense of overwhelm. You've got a

lot of responsibilities to shoulder. This is where tapping can come to

your rescue. Here's some suggestions on what to tap on:

----------

" Even though I feel totally overwhelmed, I deeply and completely love

and accept myself. "

" This overwhelm. "

----------

" Even though [insert husbands name] demands more than I can give, I

deeply and completely love and accept myself. "

" [husbands name] overwhelming demands. "

----------

" Even though [insert sons name] demands more than I can give, I deeply

and completely love and accept myself. "

" [sons name] overwhelming demands. "

----------

These are just a few suggestions to get you started. Feel free to

change them as need to better suit your situation. Also, listen to

what your inner voice brings up and tap on those as well. Hopefully,

this will help to bring your stress level down out of the stratosphere

and into a managable level.

I'm curious, have you entertained the thought of using EFT on your

husband also. You may find that by dealing with his emotional issues,

it would go a long way in making your life a lot better. I know for

me, personally, I hate to be layed up for even one day. I can't

imagine what it'd be like to have to face that for the rest of my

life. Suffice it to say, 'cranky' would be a gross understatement and

not something I'd wish for anyone around me to be exposed to.

I hope that these tips will help to bring you some relief. Please let

us know how it goes and don't hesitate to ask for more help -- that's

what we're here for.
