[QUOTE="house of cards, post: 199437, member: 2005"] If I had tried to give Major some time with his brother, I would imagine that he would have done the same thing after I had called him up. It isn't really impulse control although that might be a part of it, it is just he is in his stage when ruled don't apply to him. I can punish or not...it really doesn't matter(makes me feel better). Smallworld's advice to keep him busy beforehand might have worked, but probably not because when he gets ahold of an idea it gets stuck in his head. It took alot of writing to get what I did get into my sig. but I do have to update it anyway. My social anxiety isn't a formal diagnosis. As a child, my mother knew I had problems going into stores alone, she made me go more often, we worked out a compromise where if I knew I had much more money then needed, I could do it. I didn't attend any school events, didn't date until 17, had 1 close friend during high school. I quit comminity college because I was out for a few classes and the professors made a big deal of me returning. I did get a job, I did get married. I avoid doctors (went faithfully when pregnant), I avoid people, I worked with animals. I always sent my husband to parent teacher conferences until I began to do foster care. I forced myself to attend parent/teacher meeting and found it wasn't that bad...I didn't really have to talk much just listen..I can do that. When in social situations I stammer over my words, I forget the word I want to use, I am focused on trying to get thru the moment and not appear like a total idiot. I can't remember the names/faces of the person I talked to because I can't relax enough to do it. I make people uncomfortable to talk to me. It is uncomfortable for me to wait with the other parents to pick up their kids after preschool. As far as communication, I use to think I was very good at it, I thought my husband has problems...but not me LOL. Lately I am thinking mabe we both do. An example would be this thread, please don't think I am mad at anyone, I'm not, but I was looking for support which I rarely do, not really advice this time. I was upset because I caused my difficult child emotion pain when I threatened to call the cops, which I still feel entittled to do and it will probably come down to that at some point. I have read and have taken alot from the advice but what really happen is my difficult child started back to his old ways and I got angry because I don't want to go back to it. Oh, well, Time for me to put on my big girl pants and get back to my real world. I'm sorry this thread is so long, it doesn't need any more replies. [/QUOTE]
