[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 294272, member: 1631"] Just seconding what everyone has said. Please know you are not alone. It isn't easy to be verbally abused day in and day out. I can understand how you are feeling. Please be sure you are doing things for you. For me that means seeing a therapist, exercising, finding time for myself, coming here. It will look different for you, but do make time for you. I can't tell you how important this. I know how easy it is to want to yell but if you can stay calm it does help. Sometimes I think to myself things I would say to him if he weren't my child but I think them, I never say them. It doesn't mean she will handle it calmly but as long as you are following through with consequences she will get it, eventually and even if not you will feel better staying calm. One thing I started to do with my difficult child is saying, "O.k., your choice." For awhile that made no difference to him until he started seeing things taken away that he would earn back, or not going somewhere he wanted. It isn't perfect but a lot of the time now he'll make a better choice. Mostly I'm sending hugs your way, I so understand the constant verbal abuse. [/QUOTE]
