[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 125383, member: 393"] [B]Pamela, You have to harden yourself to walk away.....literally. kt follows me to the ends of the earth in the midst of a meltdown. husband will tag off & tell me to take 5. I do - however it takes a good 20 minutes for me to get that 5. And I deserve it. I always grab my house keys & cell phone & step out onto the front or back porch. Never leave the property. And I hear kt crying like an infant "mommy, mommy, mommy" & pounding on the door. I must do this - I must walk away. And I have a plan & backup to do this most days. difficult child is bullying you - it's time to take this little bully on. You know this is nothing more than emotional abuse - the more he gets away with it, the worse it will get. You & husband must be united on your response - however, you will have to get through to your difficult child that you are the mom & you will not tolerate this. We've also had to back down on consequences - wm had dug himself a hole so deep he couldn't see daylight. We had to make the consequence for this behavior manageable for him. Don't care what's age appropriate or what therapist recommends; I only use it for my kids if it works. Good luck. [/B] [/QUOTE]
