Still new to the boards, so stick with me. Someone asked me about my darling difficult child ,where do i start!!! From the age of 2 he has been different/difficult to manage. The nursey school (kindergarten) kindly requested i didn't bring him back due to his aggressive behaviour. Once into infant school i...

Hello, this is my first time posting here. My son is 8 years old, and has MR with an IQ of about 70, ADHD, ODD, Bipolar 2, and other diagnonsises that his psychiatrist calls "multi-dimensional development delays". He's on Seroquel 400mg, Depakote 750mg and Adderral 20mg XR. In the past he's been on...

We all know as a mom of a child with adhd, depression, anxiety, and conduct disorder we often feel like we are going nuts! We wonder if we are making the right decisions on the care and education of our child. We sit and wonder where we went wrong. We cry because we feel like a failure and...

There ended up being a total of nine of us in the meeting to discuss "options" for my 16 yr. old... Me, husband, 16 yr. old, three social workers and a social worker intern, our family counselor and the facilitator of course. Not one of us could come up with anything more than me having to bring...

Hi all and good morning. Just joined the site this morning, but thought I would get my introduction out of the way... I am 30 yrs old and engaged to my fiance of 5 yrs. We are a blended family with my 7 yr old son from a previous relationship and my fiance's 10 yr old daughter from a...

Hello everyone, I am new here to this place. I have never been apart of a support group but this place seems like a great place to share stories and offer advice. I don't know exactly where to begin so I'll start with introducing myself as MyHrt (MyHrt) stands for MyHeart which is my son because...

Hi folks. I'm so glad I found and joined this site. I know that each of you appreciates how challenging parenting a differently wired kiddo can be and I love that you maintain this soft place to land in my grief. We are a large bi-racial family, I'm white, and husband is black. We have four...

Im at my last straw with the shutups, demands, threats, hitting, kicking, poring glue on doorknobs, coloring on walls, pulling light plugs outa plugs, breaking things, demanding complete silence until we are frozen statues and not breathing... he repeats himself over and over and over and over...

I'm at such a loss as to what to do for my little girl. From before she was 1, she would throw tantrums that could be up to an hour long and she simply could not calm herself down. She's 3 now, and they are only worse. They are violent. She bites, scratches and kicks me, caregivers and herself...

history- last year my son (about time he turned 11) started showing signs of depression (thought it was situational- there was reason having to do with feeling rejection from father and a couple of other things), so i take him to family therapist but behavior gets real bad- stole 2 cell phones...

I have Tigger's Annual Review meeting tomorrow. Tigger is once again home from school. I am so torn about whether to go with their suggestion of keeping him at school or my gut instinct and homeschool him. He has refused school completely about 20 days so far this year. In the first part of the...

Hi there - I am new here and so glad I found a place where I don't feel alone. I love being a mom to my two kids, but some days the blessings seem so far away and the minute to minute survival seems sooo exausting. After raising a bio girl difficult child 1, we chose to adopt male difficult child 2 at age 5, when she...

My daughter (11 yrs) has had behavioral problems most of her life, and they have gotten only worse. Though she has had home issues through a bad divorce, I was wondering how many other children with Turner's Syndrome have the same sort of problems. Her latest evaluation. says that she don't have NLD...

I took your posts and started a new one with a new title so it would not get lost in the shuffle: _____________________________________________________________________ OK, all you experts . . . calling on you for help. I'm new here. We have a 7 year old, adopted son, beautiful child, does...

I know so many of you have kids that are fine at school, but not so at home. Anyone have the opposite? With difficult child it seems as if school is a torture. He is fine when he is outside of school at functions such as baseball, or even school functions like the socials (dances). Not much problem at...

Due to a family illness, we needed a babysitter for our 4 year old son. His friend's parents (also a 4 yr old boy) graciously agreed to watch him while we went to the hospital. Upon returning approximately 2 hours later to pick up our child, the mother of the other boy said "you may want to...

It was horrible. I should have known. Our county just doesn't have people in it who handle things like they do in other places. They had someone there from DSS, SD, 3 people from the funding agency, 2 from mental health, someone from Department of Juvenile Justice plus the PO. It started with them referring to the MDT...
