[QUOTE="nvts, post: 179874, member: 3814"] Welcome (with HUGE hugs for you!)! I'm glad you and yours got out of La. safely. Step 1: You're not a horrible person for feeling ANY of the feelings that you have. OMG! You're human! If you were to do a formal poll of the parents on here, you'd be amazed at some of the emotions we've ALL felt now and again. Step 2: School districts are more psychotic than our kids. Chant this to yourself every day for the rest of difficult child's academic life. Step 3: Be good to yourself. You won't be ANY good to ANY body if you don't. Make sure that you're not dealing with any kind of post partum issues as well. Step 4: husband sound like a good egg. I don't think he'd be reassuring if he didn't think of your little guy as his own. Some guys are just good. You might have one of those! lol! Step 5: Call the psychiatric hospital and ask to talk to the social worker, the family coordinator, or whatever their title might be. Explain that you were exhausted, had a baby in your arms and the comprehension levels just weren't there AT ALL. Step 6: You need some diagnosis' done for him. I'm not comfortable with medicating with "tentative" diagnosis's. difficult child 1 that I have is text book running side by side with your son. I was reliving his life while I was reading your post (as well as his academic career!). Ask for them to do a full neuropsychologist on him (I don't know if they do that inpatient or not). This will pretty much check him and his history out from soup to nuts and they'll be able to more fine tune things. We were medicating for ADHD/ODD for YEARS and Concerta was making him worse. We moved to a mood stabilizer (Abilify) and we have a totally different kid in the house. EVERY KID IS DIFFERENT!!!! Something else to chant on a daily basis! Step 7: Come to our site OFTEN! The validation is so dead on - so many of us have been going through this and every single participating member will tell you that they found a wonderful place. Make sure that you stop in at the Watercooler forum for some adult conversation (which there are some of us that manage to behave childishly - me - on there as well). We're here and truly understand! Gotta go! I'm off to pick up the ugly purple minivan AGAIN with the same problem (we're up to $1200. bucks on this air conditioner! I should have been a mechanic!). Hugs! Beth [/QUOTE]
