[QUOTE="Fran, post: 125213, member: 3"] Pam, I am so sorry to hear how horrible it was to be in your house last night. been there done that. I don't find the idea that I couldn't do for my child what I should all that strange anymore. The idea that a regular person can go toe to toe,over and over,day after day almost crazy looking back. I told difficult child that my job was to raise a law abiding, decent adult and if he couldn't learn from his parents then someone else was going to do it. Needless to say, I had to follow up my consequence with action. Looking back, I should have done it sooner. difficult child's dysfunction permeates the family until everyone has bought into it. It's dangerous and very damaging to everyone including difficult child. Don't feel bad that he has brought you to the point that having someone else try to instill civility. It is the only chance to make him a productive member of society. Which is really our goal. Right? I don't believe any child should be sent away in a parents fit of rage. It is then punishment. It should be because what you are doing isn't working and you want desparately to have your child function in society. [/QUOTE]
