[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 43888, member: 393"] You sound so worn down. I agree with Sharon - time to take the attention off difficult child (for a bit) & start taking care of yourself. We have all "hit the wall" at one point or another in the parenting of our little wonders. Over the last year, I've had to back away from both kt & wm & their ensuing chaos in a very big way. It just wasn't worth my sanity. In the end, I'm stronger though still struggling. Parenting a difficult child is a challenge at best. If you don't take regular time to take care of yourself, it's a bust. In the meantime, draw your line in the sand (for each of us it's different) for difficult child along with an appropriate consequence. Let school handle school issues - school issues will run their natural course. difficult child refuses to go to class - he loses a favorite class (gym). Oh well. These are choices made. Even with his illness/disorder there is still a part of him that can make the right choice for him. Your difficult child is of an age where he cannot be rescued from day to day choices - hence letting school deal with it. Now, get some sleep, & find yourself help. Something for you to consider.
