[QUOTE="Andy, post: 186493, member: 5096"] Welcome! I hope the psychiatrist has more tools for you. Maybe a different hospital? Make sure the psychiatrist knows how disappointed you are with the hospital's lack of communication with you. If you find that your difficult child has a habit of manipulating situations to his advantage, (or his anger is because he tries but is unable to) you may want to read the Manipulative Child book. As many books, it does not fit everyone's situation but has some information that may help even if you choose not to implement it's suggestions. My kids (especially easy child) are manipulators. I know I contributed because I have always sent the message that if you can figure out how to do it go ahead. And as with everything, they took advantage of that also and started using it in areas that they shouldn't. I fell too easily into it. easy child has strong anger issues with me. She hates me to no end but I am the only person I know that she expresses anger toward. I haven't seen difficult child's anger lately but probably will once school starts - he tends to get angry at teachers over school work. I would rather have them angry with me and show respect to teachers and all others. Keep us informed as to how things are going. Stay calm always - don't let difficult child pull/push you into your emotions. Stay focused on the issue at hand. [/QUOTE]
