[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 37981, member: 1722"] Have you talked to your doctor or therapist recently about how you are doing? Having difficult children is difficult enough, but having your own issues unanswered can make the situation untenable. Now, my child is a lot younger so please take what I say with a grain salt. I found it completely ineffective for me to heap on consequences when Duckie was locked & loaded or in vapor lock. It was much much better when I stated an obvious consequence once and, if that didn't work, that we would discuss her punishment when she calmed down. The problem with heaping on the consequences is that then you have to follow through. I think it may be better for you (& husband) to sit down and list various behaviors or infractions and a reasonable consequence for each. Keep the list handy so you both can refer to it as needed.
