[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 112686, member: 3419"] Ohhh, yeaaaah! been there done that! One of my sisters says I'm a mean mom because I set too many limits. Another one says that difficult child is "just all boy." A friend says I should beat him to a pulp. (Of course, she has no children.) There are lots of people on this bb who will give you plenty of stories and plenty of company. But that doesn't change much ... read the note called "isolation" and you will see that we have to make our own rituals and lifestyles to accommodate our special kids. It gives a whole new meaning to the word "family." You didn't really ask for advice, but if I could offer a teensy bit ... I'd suggest not engaging in any conversation about your difficult child with-family members. They will criticize and you will defend yourself. It gets you nowhere. Talk about the weather if you have to. So sorry. Take care. [/QUOTE]
