[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 44336, member: 2287"] I read these other posts and see our homelife. Mornings are the absolute horror experience. Our therapist suggested husband stay home in the mornings (he used to leave at 7:00), so now I'M the referee. There is NO way to control what goes on. Literally, now I get the daggar looks from husband who thinks he should be at the office and difficult child now challenging husband instead of just me. And this is supposed to reduce MY stress factor? NOT! Now I'm stressed more than ever with the constant fear of what could happen between husband and difficult child because difficult child is showing husband his true colors. The defiance is out of this world and I will never, ever understand it. We've tried it all, honestly, and it seems nothing we do makes any kind of impact. I've used "baskets", spoken softly, threatened and followed through, ignored, yelled, cried, left the house and difficult child to get on the bus on his own two feet, he's given a medication at 5:00 AM to help with the mornings, still....nothing. I've tried desperately to become a non-yeller, and now it's husband, so what's the point? By the time I get the two of them out of here I'm a shaking wreck....and I, like Crazy-Steph used to be a happy, optimistic person. Where is she now? [/QUOTE]
