[QUOTE="JLady, post: 222814, member: 6439"] I just got a notice from the library and they have The Explosive Child. They are holding it for me and I will pick it up tonight. Dad isn't in the picture because of his abusiveness to the entire family. The old two children do have a different father if that makes a difference. The 7 yr old was a baby when we were divorced so he hasn't experience physical abuse but there is some mental junk there. Dad promised a motor cycle last year for Christmas. He purchased one for the step brother and told my son he would have his next time he visited. He repeats this each time he sees him. There aren't ever any gifts for Christmas or Birthday but there are always broken promises. I don't even know why difficult child would want to go there! There is nothing but false hope and lies. Each time he comes back, he hates the world. Yesterday, I talked and talked and talked. A lot of times I get silence and "I don't know" "Leave me alone" answers from him. I send him to his room. He hates to be seperated from the rest of the family. I really hope that book will help. I'm getting it tonight. [/QUOTE]
