[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 39684, member: 3388"] Tonight is beginning to seem like the "good old days" before difficult child 1 began taking trileptal. He has been rude and disrespectful since he got up this morning. Finally, having taken more garbage from him than I should have, I told him that he was losing some of his reward time. He became verbally abusive and has been throwing things around his room for the last hour. Since he is being ignored, his negative behavior is becoming worse. His banging and throwing is now accompanied by comments such as, "What the F-CK!!!" He is looking for confrontation and, at this moment, I'm hoping he quiets down on his own. The worst thing to do is to try to talk or rationalize with difficult child 1 when he is in a full blown rage. I think I've been ignoring the fact that his behavior has been getting worse lately. I've sort of been acting like an ostrich with my head stuck in the sand. I guess tonight is my wake-up call. I'll have to contact his psychiatrist if his out of control behavior lasts much longer. As I always say, there never is a dull moment with difficult children!!! Thanks for listening. I just needed to vent somewhere. WFEN [/QUOTE]
