I adopted a child who hates me. He abuses me constantly. We have 4 counselors involved with the 4 kids that we adopted as well as a case manager. We have called the police for domestic violence against us. We are not violent, just the kids are. No matter what the consequence my son continues to put me down. This describes it perfectly: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsmhqeDMPF3LbleEeR_2A_4jzKIX?qid=1006050705653 except of course it is a child, not my spouse.
We have tried loss of privileges, a reward system, grounding, loss of personal items, including or excluding him based on his behavior, loss of allowance... what can I do? I am becoming depressed. I no longer have any friends. No one wants to be around him. I am withdrawn at work and do not even socialize with my coworkers. I am so tired of being told how stupid, ugly, fat, mean, retarded and gay I am. I have a husband and he is supportive. We just do not know what do do anymore.
