"I want you out of my life" is the latest from him today. He was particularly 'difficult' today when I got home from work (another sudden change, as started working the week before we moved). He's told me that he's going to escape and never come back.
I don't know if it's all the recent upheaval that's making him behave this way, or in defiance against ds2. ds1 has always been really well behaved, have never had any problems wiht him whatsoever, ds2, however, is a 'handful' and so gets a lot of attention. I can't ignore his bad behaviour as he will then start doing something dangerous or will start attacking ds1, so notsure if ds1 is behaving like this because he sees ds2 getting lots of attention from me, and he wants a piece of it, rather than just the 1/2 hr we get in the evening once ds2 is in bed, or if this behaviour is a reaction to all the recent changes. Maybe a combnation of them both. Whatever, I know it's really hard to deal wiht. I'm treating the comments with "ah well" and just moving on, but I'm suddenly having to actually discipline him, which at 6.5 yrs old is difficult as I've never had to do it before.
Plus, what makes it worse is that he's gettng really angry (both xp & I have bad, bad tempers) and when he gets angry is the spit of his dad when he gets angry. So red mist descends on me & I'm having to fight myslef to stop reacting to that image .
