[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 620013, member: 7170"] Wow scared of him, I'm so sorry things have gotten this out of control... was reading this and sounds so much like Angel at 12yo. All of it... the rages, no remorse, toilet & hygene etc. Public school was afraid of her and done dealing with her, psychiatrist kept prescribing medications that were making it worse (and wouldn't listen to me) a whole string of 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc opinions; ended up back with first psychiatrist who at one point wanted me to declare her incorrigible and sign off on my parental rights (this wouldn't have helped Angel just would have got her off that psychiatrist's caseload), did Residential Treatment Center (RTC) for a month, behaviorist, in home intensive services (with-8 therapist & 4 case managers) she pretty much exhausted every service the children's clinic had to offer. Angel was diagnosis'd at 6yo still has issues at 19yo but 12yo I have to admit was the lowest most defeated I felt on this journey. I would be weary of any doctor who a parent could manipulate into prescribing what they want, as a practice I run from anyone who claims to be a know it all in area's of bipolar & autism (never met any with those conditions who responded exactly the same to any treatment) Please review the serenity prayer and repeat when needed; with the bio mom calling all the shots there isn't much you can do to change this. What you do have some control over is safety issues in your home for that reason I say do what you have to do to feel safe... door & window alarms/ locks and lock up just about everything (sharps, medications, fire starters, ropes, glass etc.) I know he's young but to mentally help prepare you on emeritus forum read recovering enablers thread on detachment (toward top of the forum) it's not about giving up on the kid it's about keeping your own sanity when faced with their drama. Good luck we are always here for you. Nancy [/QUOTE]
