[QUOTE="tbod, post: 686130, member: 20297"] Thanks for your honest assessment of my note. I agree, I'm not dealing with his issues very well at all...but I'm at my wits end as well. I don't know what to do anymore. Yes, my wife and I have had him tested many many times. No acute diagnosis ever made. He's been on every medication, down the slippery slope of the education system, and several psychologists and psychologists as well. 11 Hospitalizations...had an IEP and labeled emotionally disturbed. Expelled from 9 schools. Lit my garage on fire twice. Arrested twice. Shot up my house with air rifles while high on pot...and we were both at work. I know based on what I wrote you probably think I'm terrible. I get it...and that's ok. I homeschooled him for 3 years since no school would take him. Eliminated himself out of every school in the county. Took him out of the Residential Treatment Center that the county sent him to...just so that we could get him off of the medications and start over. Your response isn't the first I've read and I'm sure you are convinced you're correct. That's ok. I pray about this every day. This is truly the world where no-one really gets it unless their in your shoes. I wasn't always like this...believe me! Finally wrote up a 3 page contract with rules and curfews that he must abide by...or I remove him from the house permanently. That seems to be working for now. Working to get him enlisted in the military. At least there is a goal. Just need some prayers please. Oh, yes...i'll start a new thread. Good advice. [/QUOTE]
