[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 382028, member: 1631"] Just wanting to add my welcome. Has he seen a neuropsychologist? Their testing is usually very thorough and can give a lot of insight. I wish I had the answer to your questions but I will share with you what we have done even though it has been far from perfect. I can tell you that to keep our sanity (if you can call it that) we try to schedule individual time along with some couple time. For me exercising is huge; it is a great outlet for my stress and with-o it I'm not sure how I would deal with the dailiness of dealing with my difficult child. We are lucky that we can sometimes leave at night after difficult child is sleeping because our 17 year old is home and once difficult child is asleep he won't wake up for quite awhile. Also we are able to leave him alone for short periods of time but we don't have to deal with the stealing-he did that a lot when he was younger but not any longer! As for managing with the other kiddos, we have had our daughter in therapy for years because of what she deals with due to difficult child, however, she has a lot of her own issues now as well. A book that has been helpful to many here is [I]The Explosive Child[/I] by Ross Greene. Again, welcome, glad you found us-sorry you needed to. You have truly found a corner of the world that will offer much support. [/QUOTE]
