[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 637310, member: 77"] My difficult child did that midnight meltdown stuff for years, until 2 or 3 in the morning, night after night, screaming and throwing things and threatening my husband. I always thought that the police would soon arrive, if any of the neighbours would phone them. They didn't, and the police didn't come, but it went on for years, sometimes every night of the week, certainly several nights. And just this week I spoke to my difficult child on the phone (we now have a good relationship, since I travelled to the other side of the world to see him, and we truly bonded) and he asked me about those years -- he has sort of blacked them out, he said he doesn't remember any of that stuff. Strange. I suppose it's some sort of defence mechanism. Anyway, at least these days he is independent and (I hope) living decently. Who knows? I certainly wouldn't let anyone who hasn't been through it criticize me or make any suggestions. I do know that because I went through that, I am in no way judgemental any more of anyone with a "difficult" child. We all know that we do the best we can -- and we can't do more than that! Just my two-cents' worth. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
