[QUOTE="brokendown, post: 149724, member: 5124"] Cameronellis, I am so sorry to hear about all that is happening to you and I fear that I will be in your shoes in a few years. I don't know what to tell you. I feel like you truly understand what I'm going through (as do so many others on this site!). My difficult child is honeymooning again at school. He was shadowed by main doctor yesterday and, of course, behaved like a model child. So, in two weeks we'll go back and the doctor will tell me that the points appear to be working marvelously. No, they're not. difficult child is behaving because he CAN if he wants to and this is all a game to him. He's also trying hard to manipulate me at home, but I'm onto him now and tell him so. (An example: He'll give me a hug and tell me he loves me - which he very rarely does - then wait a few minutes to ask for some ice cream. Ha!) When I call him on it, he just stares at me blankly. Scary. I know there are others here who will disagree with me, but I'm going to speak my mind. If I were in your position (and I may be one day), I'd get him removed from my home. My difficult child doesn't quite outweigh me yet, but I'm resolved to call the authorities the first time he causes me physical harm. You have another child to consider and I'd be worried that your difficult child will hurt him as the ultimate vengeance on YOU. I'm sorry if that adds to your burden, but how long can you allow a child like this to ruin your life? At what point do you say "enough"??? I don't know if that's useful or not, but please do know that there are others out there dealing with the same issues. It really is true - YOU ARE NOT ALONE. [/QUOTE]
