[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 514210, member: 3419"] Weary for Hope, I am so sorry. Gentle hugs. I agree with-Bunny, that there's got to be someone who can calm your difficult child. Who does he respond to best? Or is it best if he is left alone? Does he have any particular triggers? (The word "no" is usually the main trigger.) Also, after his psychiatrist and therapist visits, do you reward him for going, with-a trip to McDonald's or something? One thing I try to do is reward my son for doing something right or good. NOT easy, I can tell you, when you want to either hit him back, or run away. But you're still the mom, Know what I mean?? Rewards go a long way. "Thank you for using words, difficult child. It is so much better than throwing a hockey stick. You are being very calm and grown up today." That kind of thing. Also, photograph your bruises next time (I hate to say it, but we all know there will be a next time.) Just in case you need evidence for soc svcs, the police, the dr, whatever. Keep a folder of dr appts and make copies of everything. Also, keep your cell ph with-you at all times, even in bed. [/QUOTE]
