[QUOTE="HowMuchLonger, post: 410531, member: 11280"] Thanks so much everyone for all your kind words....they really really did make today much easier to take. He came home from school (had a good day...gotta be happy for the those) very apologetic, demure, quiet and accepting of the consequences he knew were coming....which again I was happy about. I jsut wish I could get through to him that if he cut out all the BS that happened in the morning he wouldn't have to come home feeling that way....he could jsut be a kid and be happy. Anyhow, he took the list of consequences well - no tv, video games, computer time, and in the house for the day. Seriously...if my oldest son had ever tried even 1/4 of this..he'd be grounded until he was 50!! We do get that this one is different...after the first 5 mins of talking to him, I've lost him...and after the first day or two of punishment...I've lost him, so we try to keep it short and simple. slsh - we've discussed the mood swings with every professional in his life. Part of the problem is that other than school, noone has seen the more serious freak outs. Nice as pie when talking to psychologist, pediatrician, social workers...and has ALL the answers... "keep things small...share my feelings....walk away....ask an adult for help..." Everyone is SO impressed with how mature and responsible he is. ARGH makes me want to purposely antagonize him just to get him to go off during an appointment!! I'll come back in a bit...I need to take care of supper...and then I'll respond to everyone else. Again, thanks so much guys [/QUOTE]
