[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 493010, member: 1631"] Steely-Stop the World for our difficult child means everything stops for the remainder of the day that he is violent. No tv, no videos, no electronics of any kind, no games or playing with us, no reading to him at night before he goes to sleep. This absolutely drives him crazy, the sad thing is it also means he drives us crazy too. He really isn't the independent sort so he doesn't/can't leave us alone. He doesn't often get it anymore as we've always used it for more direct violence then the bumping but I should have used it yesterday with the tripping and probably should use it with the "accidental" stuff as well. Step-difficult child would never do it to easy child/difficult child because she is a black belt and he knows she would hurt him. He knows I will keep myself safe but that I won't try to hurt him, however, in defending myself there have been times where I have had to use force, still it is a different situation than with easy child/difficult child. Susie-You may be right with what I'm dealing with. I know you are right that we have to force him to stop each and every time in a way that makes a difference (even if that means punishing ourselves through stop the world). Buddy-My difficult child rarely uses flight (if every) it is always fight if there is a choice. I'm glad to hear Q is having a good week. Steely-I really feel there may come that time when I have to call the police. Right now with the "bumping" and "shoving" I don't. I do know if he ever goes back to the kind of violence he used to use I will call. Sometimes I wish I had done it (call the police) when he was younger but in the long run I'm not sure it would have helped. He was so unstable at those times. Still is to an extent but in a different way. Now he is so big that I would have to call the police even if he was unstable like before because he would hurt me whether he meant to or not. My fear is now that I could get hurt with- all of the "accidental" stuff and yet I can't really call the police and say he is bumping into me or shoving in front of me. Today, at least, has been a somewhat better day (sad thing is it's because difficult child is not feeling well-I think it may the new medication we are using to help with his appetite but I'm not sure). No shoving and bumping today or tripping just lots of super annoying difficult child behavior. [/QUOTE]
