[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 135222, member: 393"] [B]Sara, Welcome to our little corner of the world. We are parents who understand - each of us has been there done that in one way or another. There is very little here that shocks me anymore. And as someone else has already pointed out - the guilt is not yours to own. difficult child may have an illness/emotional issues, whatever, but he still must learn to live in the world. His world includes you; you have every right to demand respect & compliance on difficult children part. You cannot make him love you - he will respect you. That is an attitude I had to take on with my tweedles who were placed with me 7 years ago now. As to your DEX, shame on him - he is playing childish games. Again, if he wants to do that with your difficult child & no co-parent with you, it may be time to invite him along to the therapy sessions or a session or two with the psychiatrist (psychiatrist). I'm sorry for your sore heart tonight & tomorrow is a new day. It doesn't have to continue like this day in & day out. What you're doing now isn't working - so you must come up with a new plan. Have your read The Explosive Child - comes highly recommended here & really does help you understand & sort this stuff out. by the way, I agree with having something that is truly yours alone. Since the tweedles have come to us I have taken up piano & more recently have added in watercolor painting. It's my hour each day that this household knows they cannot step interrupt. It's the most therapeutic time of day for me. Again, welcome. Your aching mother's heart will heal as you take back your home. Others will be along to ask you questions & help guide you with psychiatrist issues & such. :flower: [/B] [/QUOTE]
