Do difficult child's ever respect the hands that feed them?

[QUOTE="Winnielg, post: 585562, member: 16059"] I will add that in considering this about the trigger - my husband and I have always noticed two things - first that difficult child, his moods and outburst are very cyclical and second the Spring is always the worst. We will usually have at least one week per month that is fine - usually right after some big episode - like he POPS and the relief is palpable. Although for us the POP leaves us shell shocked. So that is the monthly cyclical. The yearly - we think that the school pressures build up during the year for all the things he has not done, refused to do, or consequences to things school-related and by end of March to the end of the school year - which also includes his birthday - he is like a ticking time bomb. We have tried to explore this over the years but to no avail except to identify it is happening. His birthday is in May. The first time Mobile crisis and the police were called (by the school by the way) was on his birthday. Last year his assault on me happened a week before his birthday and when he was committed to the psychiatric ward we had to wait for a bed, which ironically opened on his birthday. Socially he is very behind and we used to think his birthday created anxiety of all kinds - I think it still does with high expectations but little social delivery because he really just does not have too many friends.
