[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 376439, member: 2459"] I don't think you said anything wrong either. All kids but especially ours, need to know that what they do/say/how they act, has an impact and consequences. I think my difficult child was around the same age when I flat out told him in counseling that while I loved him, I didn't much like him. He was shocked and looked at the counselor as if to say "Yell at her! She can't say that!!!" The counselor reinforced what I said. I'm his mom. I HAVE to love him (and I do) but I don't HAVE to like him. His actions determine if I like him and at that point in time....no, I didn't like him. Even with his recent monster steps back, Wm has made some progress in the last year or so. Maybe this will be another nudge in the right direction for him. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
