[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 500573"] Sometimes difficult child does whe whole "you're not my real mother! My real mother would be NICE to me" when he doesn't get his way. It's frustrating to hear, but when he says that I usually reply with, "Well I have the birth certificate that proves you wrong, so just deal with it." Probably not the best way to handle it, but that usually knocks that whole argument out of the park for a while. Do you have a video camera? I would suggest recording him when he starts to bang his head on the floor or the walls. You will either accomplish one of two things: he will either stop the minute he sees the camera and thinks that you're recording his behavior for all the workld to see (our difficult child did that because he didn't want others to see what he's really like at home) or you can show a therapist or a psychiatrist what is going on when he throws a tantrum.
