[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 462332, member: 1631"] What helps keep difficult child somewhat in check: *Letting things go (as TM mentioned) and not feeling the need to pretend all is well with extended family. If we need to leave an event early or can't attend due to difficult child's stability then we leave or don't go. We simply explain. Family can take it or leave it. *Humor with difficult child is huge:) *difficult child attending monthly psychiatrist appts. therapist appts I believe are helping but SLOWLY and it's hard to tell for sure. *Being open and honest with his teachers about his disabilities. *Tag-teaming with husband so that we don't burn out too much. This includes taking weekends away once in awhile. *Working out helps keep me in a better place to deal with difficult child. *To realize difficult child is who he is and be accepting (to a certain extent-ie not with violence). *I also really believe that being here has helped my family a ton.
