[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 602528, member: 6546"] Hello and welcome! You are definitely not alone....although I understand that many times it sure feels that way! I love the idea of looking for a nice farm to send your child to - I would have loved to find that myself LOL! I think the most important thing to remember when dealing with difficult children is to take care of YOU. Make sure to give yourself a break once in a while. Come here for support, comraderie, to vent, ask questions - whatever you need. This forum has been a lifesaver to so many of us! Spanking is probably not a good idea - and in the long run, may make things worse. As he gets larger - what's to stop him from hitting back? Nothing. So you may as well stop all physical punishment NOW. JMHO - I think (if you haven't already) you really need to get into warrior mode as far as protecting the rest of the family - especially the sister. Make sure she has a lock on her bedroom door and that she USES it religiously! Make sure he is never without adult supervision - especially around anyone vulnerable such as pets and young children. Prevention is probably going to be a lot more effective in averting problems *before* rather than relying on him to learn from punishment *after* - Know what I mean?? Plus, there are some acts that cannot be undone - and you don't want anyone else to suffer serious injuries because your son had a chance to take out his anger on them. Glad to have you here! Sorry you need to be... (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
