[QUOTE="Fran, post: 27762, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>mighty mouse, it is true that looking into the future based on today's behaviors is pretty terrifying. However how he is at 4 isn't necessarily how he will be at 7,10,15. You have to believe that you will help him gain control over his behavior and how he handles his rage. Break down your goals to something less overwhelming. Into the future is too unknown and frightening. If he can rage one time less this week than last, consider that a victory. Some weeks you win and some weeks you don't make any progress. There is no doubt that it wears you down. Maybe others aren't affected emotionally from all the rage and chaos that a difficult child shares with the family but day after day wore me down and still does. It's a lot of energy to put out just to keep a positive attitude and be productive in the midst of storms. I was affected and it did alter my willingness to leave myself vulnerable but I still loved my son and I still wanted to be the best parent I could for my little guy. </span> [/QUOTE]
