[QUOTE="FlusteredStepdad, post: 26308, member: 3543"] The advice on here is very good. It is so hard when dealing with these issues day after day after day. Mom isn't able to work due to difficult child's issues and behaviors. She has taken on a caretaking position in the unit we live in along with four other apartment complexes. My job is all day long and many nights too. I am not able to be there all the time and the majority of difficult child's aggressiveness is doled out against Mom. In the mornings, Mom has extreme trouble dealing with aggressive and dis-respectful behaviors. After years of her not dealing with behavior issues and not disciplinning difficult child, she has a lot of trouble following through now. Every morning is difficult for her, most mornings I end up being awakened by screaming and have to come "lay down the law". Aggressiveness is not just for Mom, I am 6'3" 300 pounds and I have been thrown 10+ feet by this small child. He is aggressive and abusive towards animals and I believe he his headed for a continued troublesome future. Although this post is not any advice or help, I am finding that we are not the only ones going through this. The next physically abusive episode will send difficult child to Residential Treatment Center (RTC). He has had 5 hospital stays and between each stay he seems to be able to "keep it together for about 3-4 months. When he loses it, he loses it. We have done everything imaginable to try and get him help and not moving too far. Mom is about to have a nervous break-down and difficult child sees it. He knows if he touches her (or me) he is in Residential Treatment Center (RTC). So he mentally abuses Mom until she is crying and can't do anything. Does anybody else find that while our difficult children are Learning Disability (LD) and having problems in school, they can be the most manipulative beings we've ever met? When I am home, it is just disrespect all day long. He gets really nasty when I am not there. Mom needs help (not from me) to realize that Residential Treatment Center (RTC) is not much different from other hospitilizations. How does someone that is not his father explain that to her?
