[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 96264, member: 187"] My first thought is, difficult child put a hole in the wall in anger, and [b][i]was rewarded [/i][/b]with getting to go spend the night at his buddy's house. I understand that your motive was probably to remove him from the situation before it became more violent, but I don't think difficult child saw it like that. I'm guessing difficult child didn't view it as a punishment, but instead saw that he got his way and ended up being able to do what he wanted in the first place. difficult child might benefit from further evaluation. My youngest was definately ODD and given to wild melt-downs. Counseling helped him greatly. Most of his tantrums came as a result of tiredness. Seems too simplistic, but it worked for us. When he ranted, I sent him to his room. I'd check on him 15 minutes later, and he'd be sleeping. Definately talk to husband. If he truly has given up, then maybe you can agree that husband shouldn't take any action at all the next time there's a blowup. Maybe it should be your place to intervene and try to diffuse the situation. My heart goes out to you. 13 is a crappy age, no doubt! [img]:hammer:[/img] Peace [/QUOTE]
