[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 108390, member: 2287"] Thanks to all of you...I feel better (now that he's gone to school). I just don't know what motivates him to spend so much energy on BUGGING me. I often do the not speaking routine, and it helps me, but it sure doesn't deter him, he just escalates his behavior. I mean....he literally is in my face. I lock the dogs in my bedroom and he picks the lock. I put them in the bathroom with me while I take a shower to protect them, and he bangs on the door the whole time. Star, I wouldn't have gotten a lump of coal. I think my father would have beaten me to death and left me to die instead. Is my son EVER going to get it? I give him choices (only TWO, I know better than that) and he picks one, then nothing....and a "face" to go along with it. Why is it that EIGHT years of interventions and nothing is working? The only thing that has worked is that I no longer dissolve into a puddle (that doesn't mean I'm not frustrated as you can tell)...my skin is thicker, I guess. If I had my way....really, I'm not so certain he would get one thing for Christmas. husband doesn't agree. I KNOW as well as the rest of you, that he has issues and always will have issues, but jeeeeeeez do we have to live like this forever and ever? Each morning I look at husband and say, "Ok, time to wake him for school and start the fight." Each evening I say, "Ok, come to dinner difficult child..." I turn and look at husband and say, "Time for the fight." Our family life :censored:........big time. On a lighter note...my daughter called from a looong way away and said my four-year-old granddaughter told her she wished Christmas would hurry up and be over so she could go to MiMI's (that's ME) house!! They are arriving the day after Christmas. I can hardly wait!!!!!! [/QUOTE]
