[QUOTE="slsh, post: 335863, member: 8"] Hi Julie and welcome. Boy, the separate family outings sure do sound familiar. It finally got to the point where the only place I took difficult child was to psychiatrist/therapist, and even then it was challenging. I would also recommend "The Explosive Child". I'm not a fan of self-help books with this one exception. Dr. Greene really helps you prioritize things. I think it's reasonable to have a neuropsychologist evaluation. Bottom line, your son's behaviors are impacting your family's quality of life. Seeking out possible solutions is not going to be a bad thing. You also need to remember to take care of yourself. I remember all too well those days when I thought I would just implode if I had to deal with- one more of my son's behaviors. Tag-team parenting is essential. Take an afternoon off, frequently. Doesn't have to be a big production - for me, just walking through a mall or browsing in a bookstore was enough to refuel my soul for the next go-round with- my son. Or a bubble bath, candles, wine, and good book. Whatever it is that rejuvenates you, you really need to make the time to do it. Again - welcome and I'm so glad you found us! [/QUOTE]
