[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 476499"] Take a deep breath. Your psyche is preparing you for the possibility but that doesn't mean it's gong to be the reality. He has probably learned that kind of talk from the other kids where he's at. Keep in mind that he can be quite the mimic. For now, assume they are only words and concentrate on ONE thing at a time. Don't try to fix all the "bad" things he's learned there. Pick the battles that are the most important. Re-establish your authority but you might have to let some of his comments slide for a "little" while. Baby steps!!! You'll drive yourself crazy trying to fix everything at once. I'm sure the pulling back is just a defensive weariness. I assume he's never been this violent with you before this so things aren't going to BE normal at first. You need to "learn" to trust that you're physically safe. That is NORMAL after the things you've experienced. Be gentle with yourself. Take a step back and outside yourself. What would you tell me if I said those things to you? I know, easier said than done, but it NEEDS to be done/said so I said it. LOL {{{{(((HUGS))))}}}} [/QUOTE]
