[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 361254, member: 1233"] It sounds like you have good services set up for him. The risk assessment is a very good idea. I do wonder what the docs are thinking when they say welbutrin will help with the hypersexuality. Welbutrin is an antidepressant and is not helpful with bipolar patients and many mood disorder not otherwise specified patients. It makes things worse, from what I have seen and read. Do you meet with the psychiatrists or is it just husband? Whoever meets with them should ask why welbutrin and not a mood stabilizer. The docs may insist on giving the welbutrin a few weeks to see what happens. Sometimes you have to let them test a few square wheels before they figure out that wheels need to be round, Know what I mean?? Please try not to feel guilty that you are happier when he is not there. It is a very normal and natural feeling - we have all been there done that. Do all you can to strengthen your relationship and recharge your batteries before difficult child comes home from the group home, if he does. You and husband will need to be VERY careful at home. difficult child has two allegations of childhood against his stepdad. difficult children often use this to try to get what they want. Stepdad may well have lost it and gotten physical with difficult child. But there is also a chance that difficult child wanted stepdad out of the picture because stepdad wanted him to behave or do chores or whatever. difficult child may have expected his mom to automatically toss stepdad out if he said stepdad abused him. difficult child may very well try this with you and husband. Be relatively careful when you are alone with him - when either of you are. Some parents have gone so far as to install video cameras in every room so that allegations like this can be disproved easily. Also to give more info about what difficult child is doing at any given time. It is something to think about, in my opinion, in your situation. Sending hugs and strength! [/QUOTE]
