[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 708714, member: 11832"] Welcome, raraavis. Since no one else has mentioned this, get a copy of The [U]Explosive Child.[/U] My son was much like yours when young. I wanted to return him to the hospital for a refund. Reading that book helped me to get some semblance of order into our lives. I also realized that I was extremely angry at him for turning my life upside down. It took awhile, but I found a way to deal with my own anger, so that I wasn't yelling at him all the time. I knew that if our house was going to calm down, that I had to be the one to lead the way. It was very difficult, but I worked on it steadily. I found a couple of sitters who could handle Ferb for short periods of time and that helped, too. I discovered that he worked best with high energy teenaged boys who could take him to the park and wear him out. :group-hug:We understand. You're in the right place. [/QUOTE]
