[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 129523, member: 3419"] Vent away, Pamela. I remember I sat at my keyboard at this very bb one night, in tears, with-the door locked, while my difficult child kicked at the door, yelled and screamed and broke things (after bruising and kicking me) and I was at my wit's end. The only thing I can suggest is that you hold to your threat about not allowing him to go to band festivities on Friday. You must follow through on your word. But you must get him during a calm moment and explain to him exactly what respect means. I had to imitate my son's voice, use the same words and intonations, repeatedly and in front of our child psychiatric and husband several times b4 he "got it." When you say he has to treat you with-respect, it's possible he has no idea what that word means. Sounds strange, I know, but since he's already been diagnosis'd with-several disorders, you know that something in his brain isn't working right so you have to explain it to him in very, very simplistic terms. I would suggest having your husband home while you explain it, or if he can't be there, have a friend, minister or someone else there. Also, if he behaves better around other people, have someone stay with-you Fri. night while he's missing out on the festivities or you will have h*ll to pay. I've found that my difficult child behaves better with-other people around, and that when he's grounded, I'm often just punishing myself. Good luck! :anxious: [/QUOTE]
