[quote=Anonymous]OP, hugs to you. Raising a kid with those issues is fucking hard. It just is. And there are times when your goal should just be to get through that particular stage and survive in one piece. I think when you can get a moment to breathe, it might help you to formulate a strategy. But that takes energy and will and it sounds to me like you don't have much of either right now. That's okay. It means you have to work on your system before his. When you feel better (drugs + therapy with a good person works wonders), try to take the power struggle out of the situation. And set realistic goals, which means you need to have an understanding of what kids that age can do. My very, very mature and nt 8 yr old dd (her sister is sn), forgets all the time to pick up her towel, underwear, socks, close her drawers, etc. I walk by and say "I see a towel on the floor" (not pick up that towel, or you dropped something) and she will pick it up, because it's not about me anymore. I know simple solutions don't always work with sn kids, so take this as just one possible suggestion. My heart goes out to you, because it's tough parenting challenging kids. Good luck.[/quote]
