[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 333713, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Oh yeah - many of us have been there done that, F'wife. I'm learning after about 10 years to put up an emotional barrier; my difficult children have taken me to my knees more times than I care to count. The terms of endearment, the physical, verbal & emotional aggression. A mom, a family is negatively impacted by the negative behaviors/choices our difficult children make. ktbug comes home from 6 months in residential - her 4th stay in that setting. At 15, she's old enough to know & she does know the impact her illness, choices & such make on others around her. At 15, it is now up to her to use all the skills she's been taught since she & her brother were adopted by us. All the interventions & the like. kt is beyond nervous that this time around it's up to her to hold it together (I will support her through the good choices & such). She can & many times cannot do it. I guess what I'm saying is that even though your difficult child has an illness/disorder he's old enough & you should start expecting, demanding better choices out of him. He can no longer be allowed to negatively impact your baby, your husband & YOU. Do you have a crisis plan (aka Plan B) in place? A crisis team you can call? Many times our litte wonders, after the medications start working, have the negative behaviors ingrained - it's a habitual response. It's always worked before. Now they need to learn new & better coping skills. Sending you many positive thoughts this morning. [/FONT][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
