I've been thinking lately that most of what surrounds Marcus is negative. I find that I usually answer "no" to his questions or tell him that I don't want to hear yet another "what if" question. Last night my oldest son Eric came over and he was emphatically negative, saying things like "nobody wants to hear your comments." This kind of negativity must weigh heavily on Marcus. It's true he's annoying, but no one deserves that level of negative feedback. Plus he can't help most of what he does. No wonder he acts out. He must have become accustomed to only negative attention and now only seeks that kind out. How do I turn this around? Clearly we have all slid into this trap. If it's only me shifting, it won't work. Any suggestions?
