[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 245736, member: 3419"] Hi, Marg beat me to it. :) I was going to say, just give it 5 min. when your husband comes home to force a smile, say hello, and ask him about his day. Maybe you two could eat alone, and you could feed your stepson first. Set aside a certain time to talk about your stepson. My husband and I talk about our difficult child briefly ea day but almost always on Tues, our days to discuss finances and family issues. It really helps to compartmentalize it light that. See if you can get your husband to stay home for a while one Sat. so you can get a massage. There are experts out there who deal with-diff types of arthritis. I also agree with-Marg, that when you talk to the therapist, tell them you need in-home svcs, or even a place to take your difficult child for an hr ea day. This is very important. I don't know what to say about your son not crying real tears. Is it a tear duct issue or is he faking it? Does anyone sit and put their arm around him when he's very upset? It seems like with-all the negativity, he is just a battering ram and he is acting out for all attention, even negative. Someone has got to be his advocate. Who is he closest to? Can't help you with-the risperone, but others here have experience. [/QUOTE]
