Things have gone horribly wrong. I checked D into the psych hospital this morning because he is so out of control. He has always had major tantrums since we started overnight visits, but has lately been getting more and more violent. Attacking me and the dogs at the slightest provocation, like one of them stepping on his foot or me stopping a rousing game of "D Tells Mom How She is Kicking the Ball Wrong". Not only have things gotten more violent, but more frequent as well. Apparently I have not provided enough structure or discipline. He does not get away with a whole lot, but I guess I play with him too much or let him decide too many things???? I thought that giving kids choices and loving them even when they make bad ones and making sure they know you love them and enjoy spending time with them were good things for kids. Maybe my kid can't handle that right now.
