[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 42696, member: 3579"] Wiped Out: I'm sorry to hear that this happened to you. I completely understand the "don't jinx good luck" thing, because I have something similar that I call my "Church Jinx". When difficult child first "came out" a little over a year ago, wife and I were caught completely by surprise, and we were devastated. Being a man of some faith, but not very diligent about going to church, I started going back to our local place of worship. For about a year, we were very consistent about attending, and it helped us a lot. Lately, though, we've missed the occasional Sunday. And darn if it doesn't seem that those are the weeks my son chooses to lose his freakin mind! I call it my "Church Jinx", and it sure does seem to be real (for us, at least). [img]:wink:[/img] And before anyone else asks, yes we did miss services last Sunday. But I'll be in the front row [b]this[/b] weekend, for sure. [img]:angel:[/img] Even if my higher power doesn't deem it time to help my son, at least it helps me when [b]I[/b] have to help (or deal with) my son. I sincerely hope your jinx fades, and better times return to your family. Mikey PS: I understand about the black-belt thing. I had to deal with my older son on this issue, since he's studied martial arts from 6 years old onward (he's now 19). For quite a while, it was hard for him to understand the need to control his reactions, even when he was getting picked on by bullies. He got the message in third grade, though, when he was suspended for putting a bully in a headlock and choking him to near unconciousness; it didn't matter that the bully started it, only that my son responded in a way that could have killed the other kid. After that, he got it. And like your difficult child, I think the bully "got it", too. [/QUOTE]
