I'm just amazed at your memory, when i go to delete the channels we don't have I always get mixed up and delete the wrong ones.

Did anyone by chance video this programme??
I settled down to watch it and then DS2 decided he was going to wake up and have a screaming session. By the time I had settled him back to sleep I had missed it

I really wanted to see how the family coped having such a violent child within their midst.
My neighbour watched some of the programme and told me that the older sister left home as soon as she reached 16 due to her brotheres violence....so sad and very that families receive so little support.

Skribble check the viewing list for next mondayi usually find up here we are a week behind and the programme comes on the following week,i will try and look to check and let you know.

Ha ha Kanga - you had me going there too for a minute! There was me thinking you had a brain the size of a planet!

Jayzmummy - I did tape it as it was on quite late and I thought it easier to watch it in small portions if I felt it necessary....knowing that this is probably what is in store for my ds and I!!!

Am very annoyed by Alison Graham's comment in the RT: "He's been diagnosed as suffering from ADHD, though you may wonder whether he really is simply a very, very naughty boy." Obviously AG doesn't know anything about ADHD, I may email her.

Chocol8 · 13/09/2005 17:33

Sorry, meant to say, I am happy to pass the tape on when I have finished with it - it's got Rose and Maloney on before it!

jayzmummy · 13/09/2005 17:50

Choc, If I could borrow it I would be really grateful

I saw the first few minutes of the programme and sat with tears streaming down my faceIt was like watching a snippet of our home life.
J is getting worse as the days go on...he hit his teacher today

Im getting really scared that if his behaviour deteriorates at school he will be excluded. The thought of him being placed in the local EBD school fills me with dread.

We are seeing the CPN next week to discus some new startegies to try at home and if that fails then we will have to go down the medication route.

Im just feeling very and very pi55ed off atm. I was so hoping that the new school would be the right place for J....fresh start etc. Its still early days and I know he has to settle back into the routine of school life, just wish it was sooner than later!

Time for a name change I think. LOL RTKM

3kids · 13/09/2005 18:24

Do you know if this will be on again? I missed it.
Thanks in advance

Chocol8 · 13/09/2005 18:44

PMSL Chonky!!!

I will post you the tape when I have summoned up the courage to watch it Jayzmummy.

Understand what you are saying about J - ds is the same. So much so that I actually called his dad last week and asked him to have ds for more hours than he is (5hrs a week). He agreed and actuallly had him overnight! Of course, rather than spend this time relaxing and enjoying it, I missed him like hell!

It's certainly back to CAMH and his consultant again very soon as his behaviour is deteriorating.

I watched this programme this evening - I taped it on the Sky plus box.

My emotions changed so much whilst watching. I felt sad for both mum and son. I also felt that the mum didn't seem to be handling it very well. I can only imagine that coping with all this must be very, very difficult for her but she just didn't seem to have a good way of dealing with it. Holding him down on the floor to calm him down seemed great but screaming in his face, what's wrong with you and constantly telling him not to be silly were the worst things she could have done. She even swore at him when he was shouting at her and this wasn't really a good way to handle the situation.
Makes me wonder how much of his anger could have been controlled just be her dealing with things differently.
