[QUOTE="AK0603, post: 13086, member: 3417"] Well he has been seeing a board-certified child psychiatrist for the past 6 months or so, we see her 1 time each 6 wks. I'm going to call tomorrow and see if we can come in asap to talk about this anger and mood swings that are new since our last visit 4 wks ago. I appreciate SOOO much all your support and kind words. I feel so alone in this, I am remarried, and my new husband although he's involved, he doesn't feel he should make such a big decision on my son, but his bio dad, is involved but lives 700 miles away and only sees him 9 weeks a year. He wants him to come live with him, he respects him more, he also doesn't believe in such things as depression, anxiety, bipolar (even though he was diagnosis'd as a child) and such things, so he will not keep him on medications if he goes to live there. My biggest fear now is I have 0 control over him, he's getting kicked off the bus, school suspensions, hurting his brother, hurting me, running away, police have been here, I feel like maybe he should go live with his dad who has no other children and can devote all his time to him. But on the other hand, I divorced him for severe anger and physical abuse (I don't think he does this with current wife, but you never know) I also have heard Zoloft can cause suicidal thoughts, and now he's went from 12.5 mg to 25 mg in the last 3 months, maybe that is where that's coming from? I read the link someone gave me earlier and comparing to ADHD and BiPolar (BP), he has much more of the BiPolar (BP) things then the ADHD. I'm just so scared, it's causing me to have severe panic attacks, I have 3 other children, who see him act out like this, they get scared. His little brother looks up to him and I don't want him to go down the same road. And I can't give him 100% of time because I have a infant baby too. Tomorrow for instance husband has to go to work late so I can drive him to school instead of walking to the bus stop because I'm scared he'll run and not get on the bus. Thanks everyone! Do you think I should still try and find another child psychiatrist for a 2nd opinion? Or just talk to her again first? Child ones are VERY hard to find out here I think there are 4 within a 60 mile radius. All my family and friends live in our home town state and we are moving htere this summer, and that is where his dad lives too, so at least if he lived there I could see him, but I think he says "I just wanna live with dad" to hurt my feelings. Like tonight, he drew me a picture stating I was lazy and fat, eating potato chips and disgusting, then put mom is a lazy gross slob. He knows I worry about my baby weight, I get excited when I lose weight, so he is using that against me. But tomorrow morning, he'll act like nothing happened. [img]:tears:[/img] [/QUOTE]
