[QUOTE="Taffina, post: 763209, member: 30376"] Hello all, It is really hard to put myself out there and be vulnerable especially to strangers. Or maybe strangers are easier to be vulnerable with? My 4 year old has what they call a working diagnosis of Conduct Disorder and Antisocial Personality Disorder. He has been kicked out of multiple daycares and demonstrated violence towards his peers, pets, and teachers. We started medication to hopefully help curb some of his aggressive tendencies and I have seen an improvement in general but we are far from having it under control. I have drastically reduced my hours so I can homeschool him and give him that 1 on 1 time I think he needs. Today was rough. He woke up in a mood that was “I am doing it how I want to and no one can stop me”. I know that can be an age thing but with him it means trying to choke the dogs, trying to get into dangerous places, constantly negotiating with me about his schoolwork and other normal parts of his routine. It got so bad, I called the national crisis number to help me get out my feelings. They recommended I reach out in this forum to people who are going through similar things. My mental health is waning and I feel so lost. I love my son, but some days I don’t like him. And with that feeling comes guilt. So much guilt. Which triggers the depression. Which triggers the guilt and so on and so forth. I worry what the future holds for my son and my family. I don’t what I need from y’all. Maybe just need to let it out and feel heard and not like I am crazy. If you have advice, I am not in best head space to receive it, so if I don’t say anything about it for a few days please don’t take it personally. Thank you for reading my long post. I appreciate you all. [/QUOTE]
