[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 464890, member: 2322"] Thanks for the responses. I do have a SO, husband is in the picture, good father and we are on the same page. Well actually we are not sure exactly what page we are on, but we are there in confusion together...lol I think my child has been depressed from about the age of 4 or so -- I think there is depression in his genes. medications have been very helpful. But school is tortue to him. What's going on now to me feels like the result of all those years of feeling different, struggling at school etc. He wants to be normal but knows he isn't. And now he is throwing the you sent me to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) against my will thing back in my face. It is almost like he is daring us to place him again. ON the one hand we want to say, we want you at home, we don't think that is the right course of action now, on the other if he is going to refuse to get out of bed, we are sitting looking at him and saying that this kid is sick and needs help. How can we tell him we won't seek help for him if he needs it? Keista you son sounds like mine. He spent most of 5th grade reading comics in the back of the class. just refused to do anything else. MWM, your description of depression sounds like what I imagine it to be. I think that is what my son would be like off medications. But it is not such a pretty picture on medications. [/QUOTE]
