Discovered last night that DS charged $280 worth of video games to our credit card yesterday!! I thought he was improving, so much that we let him stay home alone for a few hours at a time while we went to work (which is good, he’s aged out of most daycares) but now he goes and does this...

In our state they do, my sister used them and one of my friends from church works there - he specializes in their Civil cases including CPS/Custody/Family/Domestic Abuse cases (sister used for Domestic Abuse and Custody), maybe it's a state to state thing? No clue.

Can she reach out to Legal Aid? They may have some assistance they can offer in regard to her options.

Oh my gosh, did we divorce the same guy??? That's it! Dad WON'T give son medications (son tells me) but then lies in court that he gives it and I'm making things up. Ugh. And poor son doesn't want to speak up against his dad. So when he gets back, son is mad that I'm making him take medications. And there...

The judge is definitely over him. He complains about me, and is easily proven wrong. We settled at court Friday - his lawyer advised him that going in front of the judge wouldn't be in his best interest. Hoping this starts a period of peace.

Bingo. I see it and call him on it but it doesn't help. We went to court Friday, I wanted to put an end to it. We're on court monitored communication now, so I'm HOPING that will stop his awful messages and harassing, since he knows people are watching him now. And hopefully, with less...

My son is 11 1/2. So its hard because he's at an age when he really NEEDS his dad (we got through "the talk" and some other traditionally dad things though - go Team Mom!) But, he's starting to see the "cracks" in Dad's facade. Its good for me, in a way. In the long run he'll see I didn't do...

We had 50/50 at the start (we have been divorced 10 years, thought things would be better by now). And that was alright until son started school. We live an hour apart. So off to court to get him into one primary home and then school. Took forever, but I have physical custody. We have joint...

Are there any other divorced parents working with their kids, while the ex is completely working opposite (in a not helpful way?) Our son is O.D.D., ADHD, possible Conduct Disorder. His father (my ex) doesn't believe any of this - even though the pediatrician, psychologist, 3 social workers...

My birth father has never met his grandchildren and I do not see that changing any time in the foreseeable future. I could go on and on with this topic for years - so I'll save you all of it but the cliffnotes version is as follows: My father is an alcoholic and drug addict. He is a mean drunk...

Thanks so much for the replies :) It really is nice to vent/talk/get ideas without judgement. I guess I need to clarify - my son is not running away because he is overwhelmed or anything. He just doesn't want an aid. So he's trying to hide from the poor guy doing his job. That's the...

I'm so glad you mention the provoking. We ran into that a ton at the old school. I kept telling them, I GET that my son needs to be under control - we are working on that, he is learning those skills BUT the other kids that provoke his outbursts need to be held accountable and made to stop. They...

My son is an "explosive child" and we have had outbursts like what you're explaining. My heart goes out to you. I cannot say we've had it at a birthday/celebration time though - I can see where that adds another level of difficulty to a difficult situation. Sometimes, when our son goes through...

The aide does not sit by him. He's in the room, generally not super close to my son, and helps/corrects behavior of other kids. The kids don't know that he's there for my son. BUT, on the playground, he has to be near my son to intervene if needed (which saved my kid this morning, two kids...

Alright, I’m at a loss with this child today. Two steps forward, 3 steps back. So, after YEARS of getting in trouble/suspended from school (almost expelled) we got an IEP evaluation done, son was classified as E/I. Great. We got an IEP in place that has good supports for him and his O.D.D. – social...

Thanks for sharing. I know I'm guilty of always walking away from things focused on "the bad" and what we could do differently next time or how we could have handled moments "better" to improve things that its easy to forget to sometimes just stop and enjoy things and the good moments for what...

I can completely see where you're coming from with the medications. We're still pretty early into things, but that has been one of my biggest fears all along and why we started with the medications. I don't want to mute who he is OR bring out new problems by having the wrong medications or multiple ones interacting...

I'm really glad you shared because the path you describe is similar to our son. The outburts ONLY happen at home, and it is exactly like a need for a physical outlet. My son has mentioned wishing he had a punching bag he could use when he's mad, we've looked into it. I'm all about progress...

When I started reading this, I was worried this was going to end with something awful happening to/around you. So I guess, first of all, he's at least making some sort of progress if it was solely verbal and he seemed to worth through it then accept responsibility and a plan in a relatively...
