[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 86962, member: 3388"] Alison, I'm so sorry difficult child is being such a PITA!!! Do you think he needs an adjustment to his medications? in my humble opinion, I think you should call his psychiatrist. My difficult children can get violent too. You shouldn't have to live with violence in your own home!!! As far as difficult child refusing to go to school yesterday, in my humble opinion, I would do whatever it takes to get him to school. Of course I don't know if you have any support in the mornings. However, if husband is around, I would have him help you get difficult child to school. If difficult child is on an IEP, I don't think they can make you pick him up for his behavior. By letting difficult child stay home, he is not only making your day unbearable, but also, he in a sense, has gotten what he wants - NO SCHOOL - even if it means he has to stay in his room for the day. As he is unstable, you're just setting yourself up for a day of He77 by having to make him comply with the consequences of his actions - Not going to school = No tv, no video games, no friends, no computer. Of course these consequences are totally reasonable, but to an unstable difficult child, they're just like throwing more fuel on the fire. I hope what I've said makes some sense. I hope today is a better day for you!!! Sending cyber hugs, WFEN [/QUOTE]
