Tom had an episode last week end....I had to remove my self and the girls from the house so he could calm down as I could see he was escalating and wasn't about to stop.......
A reaction from me would add fuel to the fire and I NEVER react..... But I can also see he won't stop.... looking for a reaction. So when I remove myself if he doesn't remove himself..... it put's the fire out.
When my kids were little I would put them in their rooms and told them they were welcome to come out as soon as they calmed down...... well Tom is too big for me to physically put him in his room so I opt to remove myself right out of the house..... He calms quickly......
Tom is drinking coffee day and night..... I have now slipped in de-caf at night and after 3:00 pm. It's making a difference with the aid of his new medication.....
It's a work in progress......
