[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 568421"] Have you ever gone to a psychologist for yourself to get help to deal with your emotions and stress related to dealing with a difficult child? I feel like I am over the edge and so lost due to trying to help difficult child. I don't know what to do or where to turn. Things have been so bad with difficult child that it has put the whole family in a downward spiral. We have been trying to do everything possible for difficult child but nothing is effective. According to difficult child, everything we do is wrong. He is verbally abusive to all of us and ruins any little thing we possibly try to do as a family. The past few months have gotten even more stressful because now if something does not go difficult child's way and all his carrying on doesn't get us to do something how and when he wants, he threatens to run away or if it during the morning, he refuses to go to school until we do what he wants done, how he wants it. This school year we've had to get the school guidance counselor and social worker involved due to absences! We seem to never have a day without drama. Poor easy child gets the brunt of it and I am sick of it. easy child should not have to live with such awful situations. difficult child bullies him relentlessly.
