[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 571466, member: 11791"] dstc... Maybe you're a bit like me. I had to get a grip on ME before I could help difficult child get a grip on anything. Except for adopted kids... (mine are not, don't know about yours)... your kids have 50% of your genes. Which means, if our kids have challenges, then likely we do too. Blowing things out of proportion doesn't help. Reacting doesn't help... we have to step back, think through, ACT but not react. Our kids need consistency. BIG TIME consistency. To the point that it means, to a large extent, that it makes a major hole in our wallets and in our social lives, for starters. Sometimes we have to get help for ourselves... parenting a difficult child (or more than one) is not for the weak, and needing help is not a sign of weakness, it's just the reality of what life has handed us. Just my two cents... [/QUOTE]
