[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 410970, member: 1169"] It is easy to be the friend and just "know" how it should be handle. It is much harder to be the parent and deal every day with an unstable child. I know with Tigger there are times when I give in because I CANNOT handle or afford him to melt down at that moment. Last fall, he was in full meltdown mode and the staff at the PHP anxiety program was threatening an involuntary admit if he didn't calm down immediately. I whispered to him that if he stood up and walked out with me that I would buy him the toy he wanted. Now I don't normally reward his tantrums but I KNEW with every fiber of my being that putting him in an inpatient unit would break him into so many pieces that I would never get my son back. Could someone watching that decide that my parenting is the issue? Absolutely. But I know it isn't. You are looking for help for your son, you are not just throwing up your hands and giving up. You are a GOOD MOM. [/QUOTE]
