[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 385934, member: 1872"] ((((Circetay)))) I wish I could make it better for you. I have been in your shoes and still am -- the adolescent version. The early years are hard because the younger kids are just overtaken by their emotions and really have no control. I don't want to offer you any more advice because at this point of the evening you might just need support as a fellow mom in the trenches. It's hard, isn't it? Not what we expected. The trenches are deep and the mud smells awful. The only (simple) things I can think of are keep the kids apart, and don't talk to your difficult child during her rages. You can sit with her, but in my experience, every word I speak only escalates the rage. It has to run its course. Sending you my very very best. Jo P.S. Please get enough sleep if you can, and eat as well as you can, and take vitamins. Survival mode requires at least some basic level of self-care :sick: I have learned this the hard way many times over the years. [/QUOTE]
