[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 36472, member: 1631"] HangingOn, I so can identify with that feeling of nothing works. When difficult child was about your difficult child's age (and sometimes stilL!) he was like that constantly and consequences meant nothing to him. For him it was a matter of needing the right combo. of medications. Once he was on a better combo we were able to work somewhat with some consequences and privileges. My difficult child wants attention ALL of the time whether it be positive or negative. We try to focus on the positive and believe me somedays that is more than a bit difficult! It's so exhausting isn't it? I know how hard it is but you need to find time to take care of you. Even if it's totally relaxing for a bit with a bubble bath or a book or vegging in front of the tv after he's asleep. Maybe the exercise video would be good early in the morning or after he's asleep? I tried to have difficult child do an exercise video with me one time-he got the exercise not me-I kept tripping over him. Sorry things are so difficult right now. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
