[quote=Anonymous]NP. I too have been there. Punching & kicking, sisters dolls ripped in half, basic disregard for anything not his. I pushed off the meds for a long time but it allowed my DS to be "available" for therapy. We don't plan to keep him on them but for now they are working and DS feels better. However, meds are a tiny fraction in the full equation. Definitely family counseling. You and your spouse need to speak in one voice. That helps your DS feel safe. I know, my DH and I have been at serious odds but now that we're in counseling we are a much stronger unit. And yes, try to stay calm (I acknowledge it is so, so hard.) sing a song in your head, fantasize about laying on a beach, or calmly walk away (if DS only verbal) then lock yourself in your bedroom and scream into a pillow. Just don't let her see you angry. That will give her attention she craves. And yes, to the poster saying parents are afraid of their kids. I walked on eggshells for years. Stay strong.[/quote]
