[QUOTE="kissinggardentoscrub, post: 87400, member: 4201"] I am in the same situation with our difficult child son, 9. He will agree with the therapist, make so-called committments to do better--even suggesting ways he could improve! But, when we get home (almost as quickly as we get in our vehicle) he is back to the old behavior. This morning, we had a meltdown. We all got up an hour later because his little brother woke up during the night causing me to sit with him for a bit. I fell asleep in his room, away from the alarm clock. Since this happened, I wasn't able to make breakfast like I normally do. He does NOT like change. He's eaten breakfast at school many times before with one of his buddies. I said (to his brother as well) breakfast would have to happen at school because it was time to leave. As the expression goes: all h*** broke loose! He flat out told me he was not doing that and chaos ensued. From that point on, he refused to do anything else I asked. He threw his medicine in the floor, knocked over several cups--some full of water--in the floor, kicked his school bag, knocked over chairs. He called himself "stupid." He screamed he wished he'd never been born, that he hated me, hated himself. We spoke with the school guidance counselor this morning and (of course) once we spoke with her, he was all smiles. She was kind enough to speak with me for quite a while. It is so difficult to see this beautiful, wonderful, intelligent young boy that has so much potential be so unhappy. **"Whew!" is so right. :-P kissinggardentoscrub [/QUOTE]
