[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 606925"] I read a little of this thread earlier and your last post or two now and yes, I would say this is a tremendous victory!!! You are respecting your gut instincts, I think something myself and my guess others here have ignored from time to time with our difficult children...simply because it is so hard to have to do what we need to do. If he is not wiling to follow the house rules, then so be it. You don't have to live in utter chaos and worse, likely violence and fear. Sounds like you got YOURSELF some help by seeing the therapist to validate your thoughts, feelings and actions. You actually are setting a good example for your son. You say what you mean and mean what you say. You take care of yourself and demonstrate that you expect to be treated appropriately, well and with respect. No one is saying this stuff is easy! It might be the hardest thing (s) we've ever had to do. Sounds like your son accepted the "no," with grace. Perhaps you can get him food now and then or a gift certificate to the local food store and in time, help him to get food stamps, if he chooses to NOT help himself in a different way. Wishing you well. [/QUOTE]
