[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 422745, member: 3419"] Hi Liahona, so sorry it's bringing back such horrid memories. Maybe PTSD? There are particular techniques for that, which others can weigh in on here. It sounds like your difficult child 1 is doing better now and is a bit calmer. If there haven't been any violent outbursts toward the other kids in the past few yrs, I would say you could relax and work on healing. That doesn't mean you shouldn't be vigilant, just in case. Maybe you can try some little experiments, actually giving difficult child 1 responsibility for a younger sibling while you watch. For example, "Please go pour a glass of OJ for your brother and hand it to him nicely." IOW, force interaction in a routine, positive way, under your watch. After you've done that many, many times, then you can feel safe going to the bathroom, for ex. Don't know if that helps or not. [/QUOTE]
