[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 24290, member: 3419"] Yikes! 2 whole hrs! You poor thing. And I'm so sorry about the trip being cancelled. That's the straw that broke the camel's back. I feel for you. Can you have a glass of wine? (I'd be sobbing in a pillow.) It's a shame we have to do medications or think about medications to keep ourselves calm because of our difficult child, but it gets to the point where you don't really care... just to save your sanity. Gosh, I wish I could help you. Sometimes when my husband comes home when difficult child is in the middle of a tantrum, husband will throw open the door and command him to stop, and he does. I think a new face, a deep voice, that sort of thing helps. Can you bring in a friend to just ring the doorbell, walk in and talk loudly? Would that be any influence? Just to change difficult child's state? When our difficult child was a baby, we'd take him out of where ever he was, physically, and it would help. If we were in the kitchen, we'd move to the livingroom, or even outside. If he was hot, we'd make him cold. Anything to change his state. I've even thrown the circuit breaker to make the house dark, and then fibbed that it must have been the transformer outside. That works well because difficult child is afraid of the dark. Good luck! I'll be thinking about you. [/QUOTE]
