[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 86599, member: 1233"] I am glad things are calmer. I truly understand how torn you feel/felt, and how desperate. I hope that with counselling, and maybe a psychiatrist for husband? (if the 2 of you feel it would help him to keep his cool) the situation should be somewhat better. Do you tend to be more aggravated by "his" difficult child? I just wonder how it shakes out in blended families, I have not experienced this. I too felt torn between husband and difficult child needs. Not anymore, I had my breakdown when unsafe behaviors just could not be checked. For the short run, I will recommend the website and book that made a huge difference in how my husband dealt with my difficult child. Love and logic parenting is the book title, the website is [url="http://www.loveandlogic.com"]http://www.loveandlogic.com[/url] This made such a huge difference. Where husband thought some of the other books "pandered" or encouraged difficult child behavior, this was a no-shouting parenting method that really worked for us. For as long as difficult child would let us parent him, that is. (difficult child is now happily living with my parents, who make him do hours of yard work when he heads into a rage - this seems to help. I am just glad not to live with him, and to get to see him frequently.) Many hugs and good thoughts! Susie [/QUOTE]
