[QUOTE="Liahona, post: 422830"] Thanks guys. difficult child 1 would do something like hit a much younger sibling in the soft spot and ask "is he going to die now?" with a huge smile on his face. He has done that to several siblings sometimes with rocks. There has also been a rope around the neck. Out and out physically attacking me because I was holding a new sibling. The scalding incident. Pulling a knife on me because he is mad at me. Hours on hours of rages. These kind of attacks and the rages have stopped . He does get aggressive with the other kids. It comes in the form of intimidation or threat of violence or taking toys from them or trying to play but he gets to rough. He does do small acts of kindness towards his sibs while I'm watching. (Mama thought of and Mama directed.) He hasn't tried to kill anyone in years. He still isn't safe with them, but its not at the same level it was before. I just can't seem to bring down my level of vigilance to match him. I feel that I'm over reacting. Sometimes the 'punishment doesn't fit the crime' because I can't let go of the past. I would love to go to therapy and I do need it. I just e-mailed the domestic violence shelter here to ask them about it. [/QUOTE]
