[QUOTE="crazymama30, post: 338278, member: 3184"] K, medications are hard. There was a time my difficult child was hiding his medications. He now takes his medications in the kitchen and either myself or my husband watch him. If he does not take his medications? Then maybe there should be consequences. No medications, no cell phone, no computer,no game system, whatever works for him. While there may have been some hard words said, I believe they were said out of concern for you and your difficult child. He is crying out for help in so many ways. I am sorry that your husband is not more supportive. There was a time when my husband was that way too, the medications made difficult child act that way, then he needed more medications, he did not act that way around me, it was all my fault. It got to where I completely ignored husband about all that, I took the responsiblity for making sure difficult child got his medications, got to his appts and so on. Once my husband got his own mental health issues dealt with his tune changed. If I remember your own husband has struggled with back pain and depression and maybe other things, my memory may be failing. I don't know if your husband has gotten his own issues dealt with, but if he would maybe that would help. It helped my husband and when I started antidepressants it helped me more than I ever thought it would. Honey, you have a lot on your plate and the stress is all consuming. Self harming many times precedes suicide. No one, NO ONE wants your difficult child, or anyone to get to that point. [/QUOTE]
