[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 384339, member: 2423"] Hi Shelly, I'm sorry it was a "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad" night (credit: Judith Viorst). Whenever my kids act up, I have some mantras that I try to repeat inside my head: "He doesn't want to feel this way." "It's the illness talking." "Children do well when they can" (credit: Ross Greene). Speaking of whom, have you read or re-read The Explosive Child lately? Greene provides a very insightful look at the mindset of "our" kids and how to parent them so it's less frustrating and challenging. I know your husband means well, but I'm not sure lecturing your son about taking more responsibility for his actions is going to change much. I think your son needs two parents who are going to work with him, not against him. Hang in there, Shelly. Today is a new day. [/QUOTE]
