[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 548407, member: 6705"] Hi - and welcome to our little world! I'm glad you found us... But sincerely sorry you had to. How long have you been married to your wife? And... Do you have custody, or does your ex? This can make a HUGE difference... I'm a stepmom to 3, and until recently Onyxx was pretty darned disrespectful... To everyone. And, on that note too, how long has the behavior been going on? Was it gradual, or like a light switch? Does he have any diagnoses at all? OK, that's a lot of questions to start, but sometimes it's not discipline that's needed, but a LOT of love - or therapy, or other stuff. by the way - tell your wife - from someone who IS there - screaming at him won't work, either... As if she didn't know... But it puts him in control. The calmer she is, the better... (I scream, too, sometimes... I'm not perfect...) [/QUOTE]
