[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 132917, member: 393"] [B]What an awful night - glad that you have a crisis plan in place & that brother in law was able to come in & help. by the way, don't use the PMS excuse for letting difficult child off - his behaviors, choices, illnesses are his. He may pick up on the stress you're feeling about the tests & such. I hope difficult child is calm & settled in the morning; that you're feeling better about things. Maybe next time you can skip the meal - frozen pizza, pop in a movie for difficult child & see if he'll chill while you study. Set up a living room tent & sit with him & eat pizza until he settles & you can study. I'm looking for some calm sensory ways to cool the situation off for you. I know that with my tweedles locking them away in a "safe" room was never safe or wise. We used weighted blankets, living room tents, time in's, etc. I needed to be in their sight, even though kt & wm knew I wasn't a happy camper. It didn't work all the time - but it didn't fail all the time either. Take some deep breaths - as you've called off school in the morning, plan on a long relaxing shower, time to study & finish laundry while it's quiet & difficult child is at school. ((((hugs)))) [/B] [/QUOTE]
