[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 209857, member: 3907"] Beth, I think you handled the whole situation very well, INCLUDING letting fly with the F-word during the drive home. Sometimes our children, ESPECIALLY the difficult children need to know that we ARE human, we WILL lose it if they push us too far, and they are likely to be very very unhappy indeed when we do lose it. I agree with you that no apology is necessary. I also don't think that his medications need adjusting. If he's had only one meltdown during the 3 week period and he's been commended so much on his good behaviour and self management, it could be a teeny bit of self sabotage (yes, I've been well behaved lately, but don't forget who's the difficult child around here...) And I think you handled the Come to Jesus speech just fine. Don't mess with the pregnant warrior mom! (And Kudos to husband for making a meatloaf. I'm going to have to try that...leave ingredients lying around casually on the kitchen counter, hinting, hinting...) Trinity [/QUOTE]
