difficult child has gone 9 days in a row with no violence at home-none-now I know that isn't a long time but it's his longest break in a long while. He was really happy tonight when I brought it up to his in-home therapist! He was agreeing with a big smile saying how he hadn't hit, kicked, shoved, etc...
I'm guessing it is a combination of things-the "Stop the World" crisis plan and his increase in his Lamictal. I don't know how long it will last because he often still seems on edge but for now it is nice.
Also I'm not sure how long it will last because next week at his psychiatrist appointment we are going to have to discuss his medications because he is still having a lot of trouble with people understanding his speech. I'm pretty sure it is medication related and we want to try and get that under control before school starts.
He is also getting a tad better with his swearing (right now he gets a chore every time he swears). He argues the point but ends up doing the chore. As he is only getting a tad better I'm getting lots done around the house!
We are also working on his constant disrespect-not getting very far. Oh well, baby steps, baby steps...
