[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 182516, member: 2459"] I am not sure how old your difficult child is but one thing I would do with mine when he called repeatedly....immediately ask if anyone is burnt, bleeding or in need of assitance. Generally the answer is no. My reply is that I will call home on my lunch/break/specified time and deal with the issue then. Then I would calmly hang up. If he started giving me lip...I hung up. (with NO guilt) I would also occasionally repeat that I'm at work and unless it's an emergency, I can't talk right now. End of discussion. Sending hugs though. been there done that. As for the therapist........don't feel you have to cover for difficult child. Tell the therapist EVERYTHING! First of all, it's the only way the therapist will get a clear picture and know what to work with difficult child on. Second, it can help you because you can get ways of dealing with/helping/redirecting difficult child. ADHD can show itself in so many different behaviors that it can be and is very overwhelming to the child's parents. [/QUOTE]
