[quote=Anonymous]Great advice here. At one point I found myself in tears every single day, whether or not anything upsetting had occurred. I dreaded DS coming home from school and upending the balance of the rest of the family. He's in therapy, but it's a long, slow road. I've started meditating, using an app. That helps, in part because the practice encourages you to disengage and observe--so important when the baiting and arguing start. I also try to protect my sleep and to eat well, and to take a little break each day to read, which is one of my greatest pleasures. Dealing with a kid like this can make you feel like a big fat failure. It's hard but important to realize you and s/he are separate people. [/quote]
