[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 459403, member: 6557"] Once my husband said that he was ready to beat difficult child to a pulp so that CPS would take difficult child away, put husband in jail and the rest of the family could live in peace. Like you it was pretty much only a thought, husband has never been violent. He is the one that keeps me calm. But the fact that husband would consider jail a better place to live then our home with difficult child really scared me. We got through it, and difficult child is now doing much better. He is still selfish and I could see him claiming the entire box of berries. But he no longer damages the house or tries to "punish" us anymore. You need to develop some strategies to protect yourself. We packed up anything we cared about and put them away. We never replaced anything broken and never fixed the holes in the walls and that had a huge effect on difficult child as he became embarrassed when friends saw them. We also stopped buying the special treats. difficult child was his worst between late 14s and early 15s. Sometimes we (husband and I) would just leave the house. (The other kids were else where too). When difficult child did not have an audience he would stop raging. I once left him alone (raging) in the house at 10:00 pm and went to a movie. I was terrified for the house, terrified for difficult child, and felt all the frustration and anger you felt when you could heard the berries hit the can. The next movie to start was "Mall Cop". A perfectly mindless comedy that help me get my emotions back in order. When I got back home it was clear that as soon as I left he had stopped his raging. When he rages try just walking away (everyone), if he damages things then you can call the cops. Go to a coffee shop and read a paper for a couple hours. Or something to get yourself back together.
