[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 647897, member: 1550"] Confused...your son has mental health issues. You have to stop listening to Gmpa, Auntie, misguided friends, all these non-professionals. Your kids are FAR from spoiled. They hardly live a life of leisure. On top of not having that many material things, they don't have stability. My idea of a spoiled kid is one who is loved on maybe too much, gets whatever toy she wants and the house revolves around her. Your house revolves around grandpa, dad, aunt, sister and brother and your own self trying to keep up. They are NOT spoiled. Being spoiled can make a kid obnoxious, BUT NOT VIOLENT. In time your son WILL become violent to outsiders. dstc_99 is 100% right. Your grandpa, dad, kissing cousins, clueless friends and other people you listen to ARE WRONG. DEAD WRONG. medications and therapy will not alone help a child who acts out as much as your son. Forget it. My friend's son had all of that and the best care (father had money and good insurance) and he still did not get better. Your son is more than mentally ill in the way that it can be controlled with medication. I doubt the Concerta is helping him either. Who gives a violent kid speed? It isn't helping. Whoever is in charge of him is not helping you. I hope for a better life for you and one way to have one is to block out the voices surrounding you. They are really, really ignorant. They may be perfectly nice people, but they have not been through this and have NO idea what to do for your son or your situation or for you, and, remember, YOU MATTER TOO. I would stop confiding in them. Spoiled my backside. That riles me up. In what way can this child be spoiled? Why? Because you don't beat and abuse him? Some people have no idea wh at th ey are talkling about and are better just being a good listener a nd not saying anything at all. Your son and daughter are hardly the first priority and the core of your family...neither is spoiled. Yes, they both have mental illness, and that can be inherited. No, there is no easy fix...medications and therapy will not be enough. Doubt son will even comply with therapy and at a ridiculously early age, kids can refuse to take medication. I think it's fourteen. Please...stop listening to your family. They have no clue. Stop listening to this friend. Listen to professionals. Get help that is educated help. Don't even take OUR words for it. Get your son a psychiatrist and don't say there are none. Yes, there are. He needs one badly or he's going to end up in jail.
