[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 352839, member: 1631"] K-Thanks for the hugs-they are needed and appreciated. CM-A day from Hades is a good way to describe my day. Sharon-I did hear back from psychiatrist-I'll update at the bottom of this post. Valerie-Yep it wore both husband and I out-probably his teachers as well. DF-Thank you for the kind words. I'm hoping the medication adjustment will help as well. Fran-You brought up some good points. I do feel more and more that if we can't get difficult child to a better place it may be time for residential. husband helps a lot. Most, but not all, of the aggression happens when he isn't home (on his way home from work) or when he is in another room (usually catching a break from difficult child who wants to be with him 24/7). When it does happen when he is there he does handle it. If he is in another part of the house he also comes to deal with it. Is our living situation the best? No way! We are doing what we can. Living apart wouldn't be economically feasible for us and with how easy child/difficult child feels about husband she would be crushed. We do try to schedule lots of time to do things with easy child/difficult child without difficult child (usually only one of us at a time). I really do value and appreciate your advice. Kathie-Thanks for the prayers. I, too, hate what drug abuse does to the kids. Gvcmom-Good memory-I do need to update his medications. He is on Depakote and off of Lamictal. He is also on the generic of cogentin (sp?). All the other medications other than the levothyroxine are correct. The psychiatrist's office called back. We are raising difficult child's Loxapine dosage quite a bit. If he isn't doing better by Monday he will probably be returning to the psychiatric hospital. [/QUOTE]
