[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 602178, member: 3930"] I completely agree - you will not be able to parent this child with typical parenting methods. This child is not typical. Mom never set out to parent him this way - she is in survival mode. Trust me, I am in the same place. I don't think its simply a matter of making lists of infractions and consequences. That is typical parenting. It won't work. For example how do you ground him to his room for two days when he won't stay there and will destroy the place in the meantime? You cannot lock him up and even if you could, that wouldn't help HIM with his issues. I wish I had answers. I have been searching for many many years - unsuccessfully. Gotta go - drama is happening now! Good luck! [/QUOTE]
