[QUOTE="idohope, post: 383971, member: 7722"] Yes, your house sounds a lot like mine. Huge issues to get difficult child to therapist or psychiatrist appointment. psychiatrist allowed us to bring our pet to the office and even with that he had to come out to car as difficult child would not come in. As someone else suggested make sure you have two adults (or three if needed; one on each side of difficult child and one driving). Our difficult child actually wound up going rather easily (for her) to this appointment and after we got home had a record rage. She was trying to make sure we would never try to get her to go back there again. Although we never did have to call the police our statement that we would call them would sometimes be the thing that would stop the viloence against us. It was not an idle threat. Several times if difficult child had not stopped hitting me or threatening with scissors after first warning that I was about to call 911 I would have called them. No one should have to live with that. You and your family do deserve some peace so pick your battles very carefully. Is tooth brushing or sitting at the dinner table worth the tantrum and the toll on the entire family? Focus on non-negotiable safety related issues for now (buckling seat belt etc). This is not giving up or giving in. It does not mean you will never ask your child to brush his teeth. It just means this particular item can wait until you have better techniques or a medication regime in place. We have often felt hostage to difficult child so I understand what you are feeling. I hope that you get difficult child to the psychiatrist and that you get some help. [/QUOTE]
