[QUOTE="Weary for Hope, post: 481851"] Thanks for your responses so far, esp as you are in the midst of your own personal battles. To answer a question- he was still angry after he ht me, not repentant. (sometimes he will say sorry on his own, later on, but that's certainly not a regular thing) Star, I am really sorry for all you have been through & I appreciate your advice on parenting, I really do, but I gotta be honest- when I first read your post this morning, it was so upsetting to me as to actually make me feel physically sick. We have been walking this road with our son ever since he came into our home as toddler 8 years ago, and it's been such a long road to get help. When people tell me it's going to get worse - they have no idea what I've already been through, the years of agony. Hearing that is not going to help me make it through today. I know that medication isn't the magic that is going to cure anything, but he has never really had any (except a few pills this summer I got from a doctor in emergency), so I'm hoping it will make a difference for him. Is it bad to expect medication to be help? I know it could take a while to get the right medication...but I'm praying it won't be as long as it can be. I think while we need to be realistic with one another, we need to be careful not to crush each other's spirits with how horrible our own stories have been. My son's journey will not be your child's journey. That being said, I appreciate the time you took to respond. He has been evaluated by the school and the psychiatric has all the info - - we are trying to get a hold of him, but it's hard to get through, unfortunately. I'm sorry for what each of you are going through. Let's uplift one another. [/QUOTE]
