[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 403849, member: 3419"] Hi Shelly, welcome. Tharyn has more going on than ADHD, which you have figured out by now. Pick up a copy of The Manipulative Child [URL]http://www.amazon.com/Manipulative-Child-Resilient-Resourceful-Independent/dp/0553379496[/URL]. The part about holding you hostage strikes a cord with-me. I learned long ago that my kid is going to scream and hate me no matter what I do, and so I do what *I* want to do, no matter what. Eventually, he learned, and we are still learning. We are Warrior Moms! Our therapist calls it being a Happy Warrior. (Not so sure about the happy part.) Yes, everything is our fault. Typical for these kids. The more you learn what is typical, the less you will take it personally. Learn to say, No, and mean it. Learn to find something good about him too. That is the hard part! But if he walks through a room and throws something in the trash, praise him. Don't make a big deal out of it ... just act normal. The little things add up. Best of luck! Stay with-us. [/QUOTE]
