[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 517841, member: 14139"] I haven't called the police yet, but I'm afraid that I will have to eventually. I have told difficult child that I will be forced to call the police if he hits me in the future (but probably just killed that because he punched me in the collarbone last week and I didn't call the police). He's screamed and yelled "Go ahead MOM, just go ahead and call the police on me"! Then he'll go back to crying "Please don't call the police on me....". It's one of the hardest things I've had to hear from him. He's 8 for cryin out loud, I shouldn't have to be thinking that the police are the only way to get him to stop hitting! Ugh! Short story long, I feel your pain and your frustration. I wish I had advice to give, but I don't. Not yet anyways. I agree with whoever said that you cannot *let* her do this to you, there must be consequences. After difficult child hit me last week, he was grounded to his room for 4 days. That was the harshest punishment we've ever given for it. He was an absolute angel the whole time he was grounded, sweet as can be. I feel like the stricter we are, the better he behaves. (And the more guilty I feel that I have to have much stricter boundries with him than with my little one, and my StepMonster status escalates each time. =(.) [/QUOTE]
