[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to say that you are not alone! I could have written this post, and also struggle with anxiety in situations where I know DC might react from past experiences. Wellbutrin and time have helped some, as well as seeing my child improve somewhat  with age and a more suitable school environment. [/quote]

Op here.  Thanks.  We were at a Passover Seder tonight and it's so hard to see other kids (younger than DS) able to sit through the Seder while my DS sneers at me and sends awful text messages during every break.  Can I really chalk that up to anxiety?  All I know is that it put me on edge throughout the evening, which makes me sad.[/quote]

I am the poster above and I would shut down the nasty texts - anxious kids are often very perceptive and it sounds like he is purposely pushing your buttons. I would tell him one more complaining text and he loses the phone privilege for X amount of time. I would look away/ignore any faces. Tell him he will get one chance to express his reaction to the night at an appropriate time when the even has concluded but other negativity will have consequences. Don't let him abuse you! [/quote]
