Thank you everyone! My son is 14 and he lives with us. He does have an IEP but in middle school they removed most of the supports that he had to transition to high school. Now I have had to fight to have those supports added back. He is in counseling and the counselor said that he needs to get...

How do we keep this from happening again? Are there any special precautions I should take besides triple locking the medications? He spent five days and six nights in a treatment facility.

Wow! I have seen my son's friends drink these like I drink sweet tea! :(

Thank you Midwest Mom! I agree that through circumstances that were not my own, that there may be more than I know going on here due to what he went through in utero. You know how people say that their son went through that and he got through it and stopped? I am wanting to make sure that I...

May I ask a question? Just how far do you allow your difficult child's disrespect to go before you put on the brakes? I know I am supposed to choose basket A, B, and C. Since most behaviors have stopped, there are new ones arising and I am finding myself changing my baskets continuously. Has anyone else...

Sounds like a great idea! Thanks for sharing. I don;t think I would make it past B either. LOL! :)

Hi Marguerite! As I find myself back here again. My difficult child has started middle school this year. Yikes!!! :)

Welcome Fosterdad! I think you will find this site to be very useful. :)

Thanks TerryJ2! I know I should be used to this but I feel sometimes that I just don't have it in me to go another round with the school. But I know if I have to, I will....Hubby stinks when it comes to dealing with stuff like this and I know I should be used to this. We have been together for...

Does risperdal help with impulse control? After a long reprieve, we are back in therapy for some issues we are experiencing in the third grade. My son has been diagnosed as having Intermittent Explosive Disorder. We had some episodes of stealing along with some other impulse control issues...

Hi everyone! My son has been diagnosed ADHD and PTSD. He is on Vyvanse 50 mg. for during the school day and Seroquel XR in order to counteract the effects of the Vyvanse and allow him to sleep throught the night and keep the bad dreams away (according to the psychiatrist). Well, I am a...

I decided to request an IEP meeting. We did not discuss the recess today as we had so many other things to discuss in the few minutes we are allotted. I am going to have to bring this up firmally in the IEP meeting that I have called. I have never heard of "walk and talk" recess. These ideas...

Today is difficult child's first conference of the year. The teacher has 20 years of experience. She has not seen any of the behaviors that I see from my son because he has been fully medicated at school. That is until two weeks ago, he started acting out and may need an adjustment to his medications. He was set...

Oh my :-( I am so sorry this happened to you. I know firsthand how it feels to be hit by your own child. I hope that you are able to stop her from comtinuing this behavior. I feel sure that someone will be better able to help you with this in the morning when there is more traffic on this site...

So sorry mog to hear you are going through such a hard time. We are here for you when you need us. I too know how it is to have a non-supportive husband when it comes to our kids. My husband spends half the time in denial :-(

Thank you everyone for your replies. I am feeling much better today. I am having surgery in the next few weeks for a hiatal hernia which makes me cough and have GERD like you wouldn't believe. Mornings are that hardest for me physically because of the cough. I am hoping to gain control of this...

Good Monday morning to you all! Hope you have a great week!!!

I have found ourselves in the same rut as before with my difficult child. Me becoming depressed and just giving up and allowing my son to play his video games just to keep the peace and harmony in the home. I need to step up the consequences and back them up but I hate to hear the stomping, screaming, and...
