[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 644965, member: 18516"] So very true. The word "twisty" fits so well. A one size fits all does not work in dealing with difficult child's. What may work well for one could have the oppisite effect for another. I'm sure for some using these techniques may be the only way to get them out, short of having them evicted. It can make one feel like they are a prisoner in their own home, I know it did for me. When my difficult child was still living under our roof and was under 18 we had to put a lock on our bedroom door because he felt anything in the house was fare game. Money, food, household items, didn't matter to him. We had clear boundaries but he did not feel that they applied to him, he has always had a problem with any kind of authority or rules. Of course the "lock" only kept him out for so long, he quickly learned how to pick it, then we put a dead bolt on. When he couldn't pick that he took a hammer to the door and beat a hole about a foot wide. It wasn't long after that incident that the courts ordered him to a group home as they felt he was a danger to me, husband and our home. At least I didn't have to go the extreme of what GM suggested. :wink: [/QUOTE]
