[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 607319, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm so sorry you have it rough. One thing I noticed when I was stressed out: the pets didn't help!!! Perhaps you should humanely and carefully rehome (no pound) your pets to minimize a little stress. difficult children can make pets act like more difficult child kids. I strongly recommend a second neuropsychologist evaluation if your eight year old has already had one. Clearly what is happening (medications and otherwise) isn't helping him for more than a two week stretch. I would make sure the two year old gets testing as soon as he turns three. The school district will do it for free and if he qualifies, he can get intensive interventions and stay at school part of the day so that you get a break. One thing we parents need to do and that is to take GOOD care of ourselves, find ways to rest from our kids while our kids are being safely taken care of, and make sure we do not get to the point where we are acting as badly as our kids. That does not set a good example, BUT it is common amongst us because we live with so much pressure. The key is to find ways to alleviate it. If you want to try a new diet, go for it. I'm not one who believes diets help/hurt much, but many people do and there is help with these diets all over the internet and some great warrior moms here can also advise you. I do hope you get your boys re-evaluated. Also, it would be good if you could find the time to see a therapist for yourself. I would not discount that your kids may have a form of autistic spectrum disorder and maybe that's why the stimulants are not helping your eight year old son. At any rate, keep in touch and try very hard to be good to yourself. "If Mom Ain't Happy, Ain't NOBODY Happy." Right? [/QUOTE]
