[QUOTE="buddy, post: 539757, member: 12886"] Hi, I'm so sorry for you. A full summer is too long of a time for you (and frankly at his age, for difficult child too...he is likely most bonded to his mom and that is a long time away)...but the bottom line is, yes an eight year old can be that dangerous. Whether he has bipolar or attachment disorder (look that up and see what you think) or whatever, your only issue is how to keep your house safe for your little easy child. A difficult child like that is sad, it is likely not his fault but not getting the right kind of therapy for him will only make things worse. I think you are amazing to be thinking of the cameras and locks and other difficult child-proofing and strategies. I agree that it would be wise to take whatever breaks you can ...a week by yourself with your baby at your parents or a siblings house....or weekends away. How does he do at his child care settings? I came across a documentary online and posted it here a while ago....here is the link:[URL]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/f10/child-rage-have-you-seen-documentary-48914/[/URL] I had seen the movie long made about this girl long ago.
