My son is now 19 and not living at home. He moved out a week after he turned 18. He has dropped out of school, and works jobs here and there. He has been living with various friends, and families in our city. Was in the next state over for a few weeks when he thought he was a dad, but...

Hey everyone! It has been awhile, but this has bothered me for years. What do you all do to deal with the lack of cooperation? How do you keep sane? My son is almost 18 and going to be a senior. He eats all the time. He also cooks. He does not join in family meals, if he does he does not...

My son, 18 in June, started out break with a bang. Holes in his bedroom walls, swearing away at dad, trying to pull me in. He settled down later that evening, but my husband and I were at a loss. No family available to take him, my husband took my son and they both went to husband's sister for the...

My son is being very difficult daily. He is under a court order to follow rules of home, community and school and is failing to follow those rules. He fights every request and demand to help around the house, pick up his things, follow rules that everyone else follows. He ignores some rules...

I have been away from this site for years. I have returned because my son has recently been diagnosed with Conduct Disorder to go along with his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. I was on this site four years ago as we dealt with property destruction and aggression. He is back again with a vengeance. This time...

It has been a while since I last posted. Today I am back. All of you know what I am talking about. Had to call the cops after he hit me with a jacket from the back seat while I was driving. It was a dumb visit from the police, but I did what my safety plan says I will do. Called for his...

Man. This has been a rough few days. difficult child's language is so foul. The latest string of insults cannot be repeated. I am amazed, honestly. I can't figure out what to do about it. It sounds as if many of you deal with difficult child's that yell and curse at you. I have been encouraged to ignore it, but...

We are frustrated. Today I really am. difficult child argues and love/hates to. Now he is disagreeing and arguing with what he has earned and spent with his points(token economy). We have tried behavior plans on and off for years. After the first couple years on one token economy when he was 5, a...

husband just took himself to emergency. His chest hurts. He believes it is stress over difficult child. Pray for him and us.

What do you all do to deal with the constant blame that your difficult child puts on you? My difficult child blames me for lost glasses, lost socks, fish that die, his slipping down the stairs, not having the cereal he wants, his not being ready for things on time, etc. It is endless and exhausting. I walk away...

difficult child is really tearing the family up. He is to the point that he cannot hold a conversation with me without it escalating to yelling, arguing, raising his voice, swearing, hitting walls, etc. I have the dullest voice now when I talk to him so as not to upset him. It doesn't matter. If I react...

grrr. This was his second year of football and I put off calling the coach far too long. Game today but he won't go. The team has already assembled for the pre-game warm-up so I texted the coach to let him know difficult child wouldn't be there. husband was going to contact coach earlier today but didn't so...

Ughh. We are back to my husband having a difficult time coping with difficult child. I am cutting back at work at nights so husband doesn't have to watch the kids alone. difficult child is pretty much out of control, but he has pretty much stopped the hitting now. The language is so dirty and he yells at the top of his lungs...

Perhaps you knew that difficult child was in therapeutic foster care. We had him put in voluntary 30 day temporary custody when he was discharged from the hospital in June. On Mon. last week we went to a services mtg to be informed that the county was requesting an extension of custody and it sounded like...

Just met with new case worker. Cps has filed to extend custody while get services in order for his return. Who can we turn to for help in preparing ourselves for his return. The family counselor we have is not one to help us feel successful at all. The counselor I go to is not familiar...

difficult child is still in therapeutic foster care that doesn't seem so therapeutic, but he seems to be doing alright. He has been there for a couple of weeks now. It is a 30 day temporary placement. It was to give us some respite and get services in place so he can return home. Of course services are...

difficult child has been in psychiatric hospital for 11 days now. He moves on to a therapeutic foster home starting tomorrow. First time in foster care, he is on 30 day temporary custody. In the meantime we are getting intensive home therapy set up for him so we can slowly work him back into our house. He couldn't...

husband is scheduled to go on 200 mile bicycle ride over the next two days. He is depressed. Riding clears his head. difficult child is already losing it. Not because dad is leaving but just because. It is the weekend you know. I have him scheduled for respite tomorrow overnight until sun. 3pm. He heard...

Had some crazy times in the past couple of weeks. On Sunday two weeks ago had to call police at 7:30am to have difficult child taken to hospital. He was having an aggressive fit over having to leave for church at 7:45. He escalated so quickly. DDD and I locked ourselves in our rooms while I made a...

Not as serious as the physical abuse, the swearing has become rediculous over the past few months. difficult child started with trying to find the best use for the "f" word. The combinations were pretty funny (to me, for a very short time). Yesterday he began using "b" when talking to me. Well, actually...
