[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750897, member: 18958"] I worked in prisons in mental health. I know there IS medication that will sedate him. It is NOT in HIS interests to be abusing his mother. It is NOT your desire to sedate him. It is your desire that he NOT harm you and that he be calm enough to take direction and to control his impulses. So that you can care for him. I agree with Busy about calling the family law attorney. Has he had a neuropsychological evaluation? Has a developmental disorder been ruled out? Is there a history of anything like this in your family or your husband's? This is going to sound nutty. I would write a list of his symptoms, very simply. I would enter them in a google search box and I would see what comes up. I have done that routinely. It is amazing what comes up, in terms of diagnoses and treatment and strategies. I have to leave now, but I will try, too. I remember you now, B's mom. I wish you would stay with us, and not leave. OK. I just googled this. Quickly, this is what I see or remembered: There's a book called:[U] The Explosive Child[/U]. I forget the author but can look it up later. Ross Greene MD is the author. Is there Equine therapy near you? if there is, it should be free. I have read it is tremendously effective with kids like yours. The horses teach them to settle themselves. What comes up is to assess for autism spectrum, assess speech and language disorders, including sound disorder, sensory processing disorders. It may be that he is acutely reacting to some kind of environmental (or internal) stimuli. The reason he may target you is that his boundaries with you are so permeable and shared. It may also be that he "blames" you because you won't make his distress go away. I would bet that it is this, rather than the fact that he is some "bad" kid. But the end result is still the same, regardless of the why. You are the target. This is what's got to stop. Somehow. [/QUOTE]
