I am so moved by your struggle as it is similar to mine. I want to say that you are in a really rough transition phase yourself, and anytime you can give yourself and your son more time, things might run more smoothly. I could reccommend more books, but your plate sounds full. Really, when my DS is totally outside acceptable behavior, time is always the solution. I have to decide over and over that what I really want is a pleasant day. Errands don't have to be run as much as I have to never hit my children again. The phone call that I had to make, oh well, I lost that too. I am not a martyr, it all gets done, but I slow WAY down when DS or DD seem "crazy" for lack of a better term. We have whole weeks in which we do not get in the car. I am always amazed at how much easier my entire life is when my children only leave the house when they want to. I can convince them they want to if it's important, but otherwise, we stay home, no shoes, naked if that's the tone of the day. I'll say it again and again, what helps me not spank is time. If I am in a hurry, I can feel the anger building before anyone has even crossed me, so I really try to not be in a hurry.
