    Something

    for a laugh..... A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. "Careful," he said, "CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my GOD! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my...

    Is my difficult child Playin' me?

    difficult child told me last week that he wanted to go to 7th grade Science Camp but wasn't allowed. I was like, why?

    Why do some families drift apart?

    Just got a call from my sis telling me that my aunt died. (Wife of my dad's brother who's also passed). What really stinks about it is that our family just stopped getting together for holidays, etc. once the grandparents passed away and it was really hard for me to understand when I was young...

    Finding the words......

    I had my difficult child's IEP meeting tonight and everything seems to boil down to ONE thing. He can't express himself with words whether it be responding to a question or writing it in a sentence. He just can't find the words. He has become increasingly introverted (I think) because of this. There has...

    An Interesting Perspective.....

    Saw one of Oprah's shows last week about an Explosive child who had terrible rages. I wanted to share this mother's perspective and holistic approach to the group as I thought it was interesting. Following is an excerpt written by Zach's mom from www.savingzach.org (Zach's diagnosis is...

    Changing my enabling ways....

    I came to the final conclusion this weekend that I am, indeed, an enabler. ...and I just know that if I don't STOP NOW, we in for a world of more intense, serious hurt. I just hope it's not too late. So..... How to I let go? How do I undo the damage I've done up to this point? How do...

    It's been awhile...thought I'd reintroduce

    Well, it's been almost 2 years since I was here last. It's been a rough ride. I probably wouldn't have experienced my downward spiral had I continued to participate on this Forum. So in truth, that’s why I’m back. I’ve managed to slither into a kind of depression that I can’t seem to shake off...

    What is it about School that "tortures" my difficult child?

    Hi All! I'd like to hear some supportive input/experiences regarding School. (He has an IEP, I have a meeting with the school this week to discuss a FBA, and he is seeing a Neuro psychologist currently.) My difficult child thinks school is absolute "torture", he says it's too hard and that he's just...

    Excessive Suspensions

    Does anyone know how many suspensions from school are too many???? Suspensions do NOT help my son learn nor does it punish my son. My difficult child has been suspended 4 times now this year and it's not working. Do schools understand that children with Asbergers/ADHD/ODD do not really respond to...

    10 yo difficult child Wetting Pants at school

    This will be the 4th time now that the school has called at the same time during the day (right before school lets out) telling me difficult child has wet himself and needs picked up. I think he's trying to get out of riding the bus. The bus causes quite a bit of anxiety for him and my husband won't go pick...

    School Unit for the Emotionally Disturbed???

    Well, difficult child was suspended again today for telling a little girl he was going to kill her. He apparently told this same little girl that he was going to kill her last Friday in class too. This is the same girl he pushed against a wall the first time he was suspended. For whatever reason, he...
