difficult child started partial hospitalization program yesterday. I really liked the psychiatric so that made me feel good. He had a good day - 35 out of 40 points and I picked him up at 2:30. In the car he was playing with my phone, which I usually let him do because he plays the games and downloads appropriate free apps. Anyway, something comes up that he won a free ipad. I told him it wasn't true and told him he could put in our address and that's it cause I figured they can't bill me with no billing info. He was still trying to get this an hour later. I honestly had not been watching him closely cause I was running around the house searching for all my papers on him (hospitalizations, medications, suspensions, etc)...I am soo disorganized...anyway, I finally asked him to give it back to me and he wouldn't because he said he was just about to get it. I wound up grabbing it from him. He started yelling, calling me "woman", slamming the fridge door, hit me, stomped on my foot...I'm sure you get the picture. After 5 minutes, he calmed down. I needed to report this to the partial and he kept asking me not to. I feel I have to because if they don't know the truth about what happens at home, this won't work. I just felt bad because he might go down a level for today and lose a few privileges. I wrote that it ended after 5 minutes and put it in a sealed envelope so he wouldn't see it.
I feel like this was partially my fault for letting him continue with my phone so long and I also feel that when he refuses to accept my "NO" it's because he knows he can eventually wear me down and I'll give in. Just makes me feel that I'm creating all this and I feel guilty.
