[QUOTE="jannie, post: 175610, member: 2074"] Wow!! Sending hugs--it certainly sounds stressfull--I think it's a smart idea to put on a dead bolt lock...my husband and I have definately stood in front of our doors holding back difficult child. I know the running away is very scary--but where does he go when it's daytime? Does he run further because you are chasing him? Is he running into a busy street? Recently my difficult child has needed some of his own time...he may run off and hide in a bush for a few minutes or so...and if I don't chase after him, he will use this few minutes of down time to calm down...and then he returns home. A year or so ago, I would have never left him to be alone because I'd be afraid he's hurt someone or something...he can now do it since we've worked really hard to use strategies to self-calm....If I chase him it gets totally worse...
