[QUOTE="greenrene, post: 583008, member: 9177"] Well, eventually if it gets too bad, they are dismissed from the school. I don't think it will get to that point, at least I hope not. They have both a goal ladder to climb and a good-sounding consequence system. Packing today was fun - NOT! difficult child was wound up, uncooperative, and downright rude. mother in law (bless her) came over to help, which made things go so much better than they could have been. I just HATE when difficult child is the one ramping up and being rude, then she turns around and says that I'M the one who needs to "calm down," even when I'm remaining calm. I'm still just amazed at how visceral my response is to her, and how I didn't really notice it until she had been out of my home for a few weeks and I actually had some time to decompress. Even after packing today, which compared to some of her antics was relatively tame - for the rest of the day and even now I can literally FEEL the stress coursing through my system. To think that I've lived with that stress in my system for YEARS AND YEARS... goodness! It's no wonder I'm a mess. One more day. Then I really get to take my life back. [/QUOTE]
