[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 133713, member: 4772"] MaryEllen - Whew! Deep, Cleansing breath for each of us! Wecome. I am new to this forum also. I hope you find some answers and some comfort here. I have been reading many of the old posts and have been moved to tears by how had we have all been trying for our difficult children. I think for you it must really be a culture shock to be dropped in the middle of all of it. It has only been in the past year that I realized that the way I dealt with my difficult child was only making the problem worse. I kept looking for reasonable behavior from someone who was not able to give reasonable behavior. The two programs that helped me the most were "Parenting with love and logic" (offered free from our school system) and "The total transformation" (very expensive, but I was desperete) I am concerned that your husband doesn't seem to be backing you up. These kids will definately divide and concur if they can. I hope you can convince husband that you need a battle plan that you agree upon in advance. Yelling doesn't work and just makes you angry and upset. Kids are not upset at all -- you are still doing all the work for them! Many here have been battling this for some time - Have you checked out some of their recomendations here on books? I am so sorry MaryEllen, that you feel so overwhelmed and exhausted. Hopefully, this is a place where you can come to "fill up your tank" [/QUOTE]
