[QUOTE="Star*, post: 117074, member: 4964"] I think - believe with my own son. That the ONLY way I am going to ever have a chance to see the sweet side of him is to let him see the not so sweet side of me by being the parent. Sticking to your guns isn't easy with these kids - but I'm finding now that I think I could have detached a lot earlier - and gotten better results. Different parenting for a different kid. You'd think smothering them with love WOULD be the answer - but I think it's letting them KNOW they are loved and in our case - letting him find out life by himself. But I will tell you this - I don't care who anyone threatens to hit - I would call the police - I don't regret it - and something about a 6'6 man in a dark blue uniform with a gun stuck to his side telling difficult child how loathsome it was to even THINK about hitting a woman - YOUR MOTHER - really sad, and pathetic. And if he ever DID hit me - they would arrest him and then told him what would happen to him - and not even to threaten to do it or I was to call. Our problem was a little deeper because I was abused and I would have states where if hit - I'd black out and NOT know what I was doing. THAT was scary. It was better for my son to go to jail than to be pounded by me. No maa'm I won't be bullied in my own home - I don't care if you are living with 1/2 a brain. Hitting solves NOTHING. And if that is the best coping skill you have for your anger with your Mother - then I'm going to get you LOADS of help - but you're not staying in my home. Keep in mind too - SOME agencies will cross state borders for special cases. Just keep being the squeeky wheel. Call the governors office and tell them you need help with a child who has outrageous behavior - see where they send you. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
