[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 128389, member: 187"] Hey Mikey, I'm following along and I don't have any additional advice to offer from what others have said. I feel for you, you're in the toughest spot anyone could be in. I just want to share with you one of the biggest little things that helped me about this site. Yeah, you read that right. The biggest little thing. The term difficult child. Helped me immensely! I know your references to your son as McWeedy and McButthead etc. are meant partly in jest, but I read anger behind it. Justified, no question. For me, anger was a block. I had a hard time getting past my anger to do anything else. When I started referring to my son as difficult child (Gift From God) instead of referring to him as my problem child, my worst nightmare, my crappy kid, etc. I began to feel better about him. I can't explain it much better than that. And I don't mean to come across as being critical of your reference or telling you to change it, I just wanted to offer something that I found had helped me. Peace [/QUOTE]
