[QUOTE="nvts, post: 194574, member: 3814"] Well! YOU'VE got your hands full don't you! Listen: first of all, there's no crime in really, really, REALLY, hating your kids sometime. I think just about everyone on here would put there lives on the line for any of their kids, but we all get on here every once in a while and hiss "man, I can't STAND this kid any more!" Don't judge your "motherhood skills" by your feelings - you'll get yourself into a lot of emotional trouble this way. Have you gotten a formal diagnosis on him yet? If not: I HIGHLY recommend that you get a neuropsychologist asap. There's usually a long line for them, so get your name on a list so you can have it done. They'll test him every way from Sunday, and will be able to try to slim down the options available. With the medications they've tried, they're just shooting from the hip. It's sort of like complaining that you've got a stomach ache, the Dr. prescribes medications, but never asked if you might be constipated or have "the runs". Hit or miss. I know that you have a pretty limited insight as to what his early childhood was like, but are you aware if he's had any sensory issues (reactions to noises, textures - like itchy tags, lining up toys, over-attention/knowledge to any one particular thing/subject, etc.)? Here's a question: Has he ever been tested for learning disabilities? It could be that he's been sailing through school over the years because he was able to glean enough information in the classroom to pass, yet now that he's going to have to perform based on his own reading skills, is finding it too hard? Non-verbal or read/write disorders often don't become obvious until they actually have to perform on their own. Don't beat yourself up! You're a great Mom who's been the whipping boy for a long time. Talk to us, ask a million questions, post your own experiences and let it go! We're here for each other and will be here for you too! Welcome - it's a great group on here! Beth PS: Try and break up the posts with spaces here and there - sometimes a "bulk" post will mess with people's eyes! :winking: [/QUOTE]
