[QUOTE="busywend, post: 537477, member: 391"] Welcome! First rule: do NOT take it personally. None of the words and none of the behavior. It is NOT personal, so do not take it that way. Besides most of our kids can not even begin to understand why we DO take it personally. It just does not connect. It becomes an opportunity for them to become frustrated and be different once again. Second rule: It is OK to have moments where you dislike your child or wish them to live somewhere else. It is very draining to parent these children. So, forgive husband, he is just tired. It is OK for him to feel that way. It is natural. Of course, it is unrealistic in most cases. But, necessary in some, too. How long has he been on current medications? Anything at all different since starting them? Do you keep a journal? Many have learned specific things (foods, times of day, medications, etc) that seem to either help or make things worse. It is easier to identify if you have things written down. [/QUOTE]
