[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 324994, member: 3419"] I think you meant difficult child 3, since you said "he," right? I understand your husband's feeling. I've felt that way myself. I want my husband to react more strongly. It has taken yrs for him to come up to bat. Counseling has helped. Medication has helped. Physical engagements never work unless the kids are small and you can whale them straight into their rooms, LOL! But the knock-down, drag-out type is very bad. These kids are so provocative, they can provoke Mother Teresa right out of the grave. And they raise their own levels of adrenaline to where they can no longer control themselves. We can't help them moderate their emotions if we're in there, doing battle right with them. So when your husband is calm, call him up and agree to meet him for coffee. Alone, just the two of you. Let him talk and talk and talk. Don't be defensive. Try not to cry. Just let him get it out of his system. I don't know your original situation--whether this is a stepchild or what--and that could be a factor. If it is, you are in good company. This is a common issue, even with-regular discipline when the kids are not g'sfg. [/QUOTE]
