[QUOTE="Mayapple5, post: 224053, member: 6223"] been there done that and it does seem like hours! I can't hold ours difficult child any more and my husband even has trouble, she is taller now and oh, so strong! I was told gently sit on them, face down. Because then they can't spit at you or bite you. I know it pains you to see that they have hurt themselves and you feel somehow you are to blame, you can't convince them it was their fault! Maybe you can at least look at it this way...once a month isn't so bad! But when it happens it sure makes up for all the "little" ones that haven't happened. huh? I'm sorry I don't have any advice either, but a book was recommended to me this week by a counselor who is going to be working with us, it's called "Beyond Consequences" by Heather Forbes. Our difficult child is adopted and has attachment problems. She never got a healthy first year of love and attention, being tossed from one foster home to another, not knowing where she belonged and now we have a whole lot of problems to deal with so a book titled "The Connected Child" was also recommended. I don't know if either of these might help you or not but I sure can sympathize with you and give you lots of hugs and know that you have come to the right place for love and support! Connie [/QUOTE]
