[QUOTE="mandcc96, post: 146639, member: 5075"] I just wanted to say thanks. We made it through dinner and almost bedtime with only one fight. My difficult child wasn't the one who was losing it either, which was strange, but it was my younger daughter who is usually pretty mellow, was screaming at me. Strange situation but with her, 15 minutes in her room is usually all it takes for her to calm down. Anyways, I found this quote and thought it was pretty much right on the money in my house. I haven't read "The Explosive Child" yet, I'm trying to find a copy but I think from the excerpts that I've caught, I've implemented some of the ideas into our daily lives. But my husband isn't fully on the bandwagon yet as he hasn't read anything (I can't say as I blame him with the hours he works). Anyways, it was interesting again to be able to feel that someone else out there knows exactly what I'm going through.

What happens if you try to implement "The Explosive Child" methods and you're good at it but he isn't, is she will see YOU as an ally but him as a problem. He will suddenly find himself the intense focus of all her hostility. [/COLOR] Also, on another note, I have an appointment. with-my old family counselor next week. It's not a quick fix, but it's a start. And at the very least, I don't feel like I have to go over my entire rotten childhood with-her...she already knows it LOL. [/QUOTE]
