[QUOTE="DDD, post: 602265, member: 35"] I agree with the others. I absolutely agree that you and your younger son need to leave the house and do something together to keep your mind off what's going on. Eat out, go to a movie, walk the mall. Anything but stay home. I am sorry. Let me add one personal note. Due to circumstances I never had to force easy child/difficult child to leave BUT I know it would have been more painful because he, like your son, always has been bright, polite and only confrontational once. Many difficult children scream, cuss, punch holes in walls etc OR make such frightening choices that the parents just "have to" make them leave. I expect it will be deeply emotional for you and I also expect he will soon be contacting you directly trying to change the rules. in my humble opinion you might use the Serenity Prayer to help keep your balance. It is short but full of the wisdom that is needed when dealing with trying circumstances. I will be rooting for you. DDD [/QUOTE]
