[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 67820, member: 1514"] Mikey...I want to point one thing out. One of the other posters above mentioned that all this has the potential of actually killing you through a heart attack or stroke. She wasnt kidding. On May 5th or 6th of this year, after a weekend of screaming and fits with my son, my husband had a mild stroke. Thank heavens it was no worse than it was but it was a wake up call to the stress that these kids can put us through. I was/am more like your wife in that I get mad at the antics and then scream for husband to come "fix" things then basically tie his hands in many cases. That is hard to admit. I dont want to see my kid homeless or in pain or or or. He also knows how to tug at my heart strings and his dads so he can wiggle back in. Then its the same thing all over again. We get the few good days or weeks...then its bedlam again. I start wanting husband to fix things and it stresses him out. You need to find a way so that you arent always in the middle of that stress. It can cause physical harm to you. Something really has to give and if it is in the way you parent your son...well oh well if it keeps you alive. Better an alive Mikey than a dead one because that isnt going to change McWeedy. [/QUOTE]
