I can so identify with wishing your difficult child would act up in front of others so they can really see what you're dealing with. Honestly, my difficult child flipping out at the psychiatrist's office (he kicked over potted plants, ripped up the magazines, yanked pictures off the walls while screaming at the top of his lungs) was one of the best things that ever happened for us. Funny how the hospital. had no open beds, then after that incident, he had a bed the next day.
