[QUOTE="weatheringthestorm, post: 111191, member: 4424"] Before we brought my difficult child home from my mom's we decided that if he felt he couldn't handle it any more and needed to get out he could say so and be allowed to walk around the block for 15 min. After 15 min we needed to hear from him. He also knows that if he leaves the house without permission we will call the police. I don't know if it's the higher dose of medications or the "high" of Christmas and learning to drive, but he's doing much better. A couple of things have gone wrong and he's handled them in stride (I can't remember the last time that has happened). He's actually behaving a lot like a "normal" teen. He hasn't been very moody (only little hints here and there that he quickly overcomes) and doesn't seem to be so depressed or terminally angry. While I'm encouraged I've still met the boy; so I'm not holding my breath or anything. But after what we've been through lately I'll take whatever little break I can get!! There is plenty coming up to destroy the peace.... homework, going back to school, his smoking (I'm going to make a new posting for that issue), etc Today (as long as the roads are clear enough) he's going to drive while I do my shopping and he even mentioned going sledding with his little brother. Add to that visiting with my baby nephew and it just might be a good day. [/QUOTE]
