[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 231360, member: 3388"] Sharon, The others have already given you good advice - I just want to let you know I'm thinking of you too and hoping once your difficult child is getting more sleep, his behavior will start to improve. The one thing you said about crying on the phone when talking to your boyfriend hit home for me. Yesterday, I had coffee with a very close friend (we've been the best of friends for over 32 years), and I started crying too. I think the tears are just a natural consequence of being in a "safe" place and having someone take care of us, even if it's just for a little while. I'm sorry that your difficult child is being such a difficult child!!! I really like the idea of giving difficult child a level system where he has to "earn" his privileges. In my family, the only thing that really helps is having a Reward System in place. I think you're on to something - If you're constantly taking away your difficult child's privileges, it just fuels the fire in him. on the other hand, if he can visually see how many privileges he has "earned", he might be more willing to work harder to get those privileges. Let us know how it goes. I hope today is a better day for you. Thinking of you... WFEN [/QUOTE]
