[QUOTE="klmno, post: 480685, member: 3699"] thank you, DDD. And I should have worded that post differently- I have no doubt that I still have PTSD. But I also know that I am not imagining what difficult child difficult child has done and I can't stick my head in the sand about it. That doens't mean I think our relationship is hopeless. I do think if we can work thru it, he'll have much better chance for success in life and be much less likely to be a domestic abuser as an adult. If I stuff it and continue acting like it's a typical teen thing and not domestic violence, I honestly believe that he is likely to become a domestic abuser and/or violent in the community. I can't buy into the belief that a fourth anger management course is going to solve this. I aprreciate your support and understanding. I am willing to go to therapy for this type issue and other family issues with him as long as it's not just behavior mod, which really doesn't address it, and as long as I don't have to worry about getting physically threatened or hurt by him afterwards. I don't think all would or could be solved in 3 mos or less, but it will be clear by then if difficult child is trying and the crux of the worst emotional stuff should be on the table and we can see if difficult child can maintain without becoming physically agressive by then. We could continue family therapy with him living with me after that, I am fine with that. [/QUOTE]
