[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 81934, member: 3930"] Thanks everyone! I don't even know where to begin... or how to put this all in words. I tried the bath idea and it did settle him down a bit so that he was not screaming and crying - but he was really hyper and could not relax. After the bath he kept doing things to bother and annoy everyone - like just digging in and torturing us. He was extremely defiant and would not stop or do anything we told him. I can't even explain it - he was a total monster. Finally he did something that set husband off and husband blew up and flipped out (he has a very long fuse... but whoa!). Then difficult child was crying and screaming, husband was irrate, I was yelling at husband, and baby was crying. It was a big dysfunctional mess to say the least! I took difficult child for a ride in the car (we were both in pj's). When we got back we went to bed and nothing else was said about the whole thing. Ugggh. I think this is just wearing us all down. difficult child was extremely abnoxious all weekened and hasn't been sleeping as much. I called the new therapist's office to see if we could get in earlier but we cannot. I also asked if they could see him back to back after they talk with me and husband and they cannot. So our appointment is next Mon. with just us and then who knows when they will see him. Also, being that it's Monday - I am dreading picking him up from school and hearing from the teacher. We have our first meeting with the school this Thurs about determining if he can be evaluated. The school pysch wants us to withdrawal our request so they can try interventions first (I think because their time limit to have him evaluated ends on 10/25 and they are trying to buy more time - you can read more about this on the Special Education board). I got our paperwork and notes all in order and in a notebook. I hate feeling like you have to fight for what is right. Arrgghhh - Happy Monday all! Thanks for being here and for listening! [/QUOTE]
