difficult child's moods are so all over the place right now.
One example: Yesterday I took him grocery shopping (husband desparately deserved and needed a break) and he was really good-some grumbling but very helpful and not angry. Also took him to get a key for the house-still in a good mood. We got home and he grumbled about me wanting him to fold and recycle the grocery bags-I about freaked out when I came down and he had done it!
He remained in a good mood. Earlier he had told me he didn't like his new shoes he picked out. I told him no problem since he had just worn them in the house we could take them back. He didn't really respond that I remember. When it was time for him to go take his shower and he was taking his shoes off, I asked what he had decided about his shoes. He immediately yelled at me not to talk to him, that he had told me (I said well maybe I forgot what did you decide and again he yelled). Then I said what a good day we had together and lets keep it that way. He screamed at me that he was never going to have fun with me again and that he was going to kill me in the future and then I would be dead.
One minute he is as angry as can be, the next second (literally) he is being goofy and asking for me to play with him or help him with something.
He is so socially inappropriate. This is gross but he wiped his snot on husband's shirt yesterday and thought it was funny. He truly didn't seem to get why husband was so upset because you really couldn't see it. There was absolutely no understanding when husband tried to explain to him. There is no reasoning with him about anything because he know everything
Today he got kicked out of the playroom at the healthclub (which meant no workout for me) because he wouldn't stop flipping kids off. difficult child's response was that someone wouldn't give him the ball so that is why he kept doing it.
He also is having a really hard time with his short term memory. He does have problems with his short term memory but I wish I could remember what it was the other day but he couldn't remember the order of something that happened just 5 minutes before.
The other day he was happily remincisng about when he was younger and used to hide his feces and play with it. Where did that come from? He did used to do that but why did he bring it up out of the blue?
I keep just thinking at least he isn't being violent (though he is threatening a lot). Sometimes I think maybe I shouldn't let these other things bother me but honestly husband and I are both going nuts!
Sorry this is long and I feel like I'm rambling but I needed to get this out. Thanks for listening.
