[QUOTE="Sunshine1966, post: 87202, member: 4129"] Hi Cheryl, Its me again! I just read your intro post. You asked for help with defense mechanisms for going out in public and I wish I had a good answer for that. I have read "the Explosive Child" book by Ross Greene and realized that I just needed to figure out a way to do my 'public' shopping without my difficult child. It was just too much. He's have horrible screaming and shreiking in the store, I would just ignore it and act like I could care less to give him no attention, yet I could feel everyone staring and wondering. Its AWFUL!! So, now I rarely take him to a store with me. I've had to rearrange things so that I do my shopping when he's at preschool or Dad can cover at home. I've even gotten to the point that I shrink back at the thought of visiting my parents, inlaws and siblings but they all love him but its obvious they don't understand what goes on really and its so frustrating. I had a lady at the grocery store yell "Jesus" in vain about his shrieking and screaming. It stopped him in his tracks, then he was so hurt and he cried. Then he was angry and said he wanted to find her and hit her! I was trying to explain to him that just like he didn't like what she said, she didn't like having to hear him shriek in the store. Anyway, just some of my thoughts. I'm sure we'll be chatting more on this site! Debbie [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
