[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 742799, member: 23349"] Laura, I hope things are looking better this morning. Unfortunately this kind of rocky road is, I think, to be expected with our difficult ones. Perhaps when he gets his medications stabilized things willmstraighten out. In the meantime I think it may be helpful to stay focused on the big picture and try to let some of the day to day irritations go. Accept that it’s not going to be perfect. If your son was perfectly stable and rational right now you wouldn’t all be in this situation. Try to get perfectly clear within yourself and with your husband on what the boundaries and absolutes are and let the rest go. I would be very clear with your son about those boundaries and what you will and won’t do so there isn’t room for future argument. If he is never allowed to stay the night, say so. I hope your husband is also able to come to a place where he can understand that a certain amount of this kind of thing is par for the course at this stage and not take it personally. I really hope that this blows over and your son stays for the treatment he needs. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
