[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 175544, member: 3444"] We've been dealing with running with difficult child 1 -- he always comes back, though, and he's a few years older than your difficult child. I'm learning that I play a role in the situation by allowing things to escalate, since he usually runs when there's a heated argument going on with him and the situation just becomes too emotionally charged. The timing also tends to coincide with his medications wearing off. His dad has done the "running away" thing with me, too -- usually during an argument or back in the days when he took medications for his ADHD and they were wearing off and he got upset over something -- he just couldn't cope. It's definitely a scary situation, whether it's a child or an adult (acting like a child). I think it all boils down to anxiety and insufficient coping skills. Thankfully, husband is now on a mood stabilizer so he's behaving much better these days ;) Hope the deadbolts get there soon and you get some good support from the tdocs on this! [/QUOTE]
