To cut it very short: Our son had a major outburst yesterday evening... broke his glasses throwing them on the floor ... kicking... screaming... hitting... -to mention only a few things he did. The worker here in our home - she couldn't deal with him so I had to do it on my own... It kept on for quite a long time and I had to prevent him from getting to his sister. Eventually I managed to calm him down using distraction "big time". You really need to have fantasy and that FAST to come up with things that might work.

This morning our daughter was a pain in the butt. Well... yes I know she's struggling too because of our situation with her brother... but this morning she was just too too much.

I'm an exhausted, sad and upset mother today... blaaaah

Just had to get it out... at least some of it....
