[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 621159, member: 3419"] Scaredofhim, I am so sorry you are going through this. You've got extra problems with-the bio mom and step-child issue. Will you be giving him back any electronics on Saturday? I'd try to plan ahead as much as possible. Do not show him that you are afraid of him. I try to repeat the same phrase in a calm voice. Over. And over. It can be exhausting. "What kind of parent would take away electronics from a sick child?" is sooooo familiar! We have told our son that he is to have NO games on the days he is home sick. It has taken a long time, and he will occasionally still fight us (or mostly, sneak) but he know that if he's too sick to go to school, he's too sick to play video games. That's the statement you can repeat to your son over and over. "It's a house rule. No discussion. Would you like some soup? Another pillow?" Who is in charge of whether he goes to residential? Is he on lithium? [/QUOTE]
