[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 270753, member: 3419"] Hi Debi, Welcome back. I feel for you. Especially now that you're pregnant. Sigh. I agree with-other people here and don't have much to add, except that you really need support at home from your spouse. Your son isn't violent toward the other kids, is he? Also, you mention the things that have been taken away, but what about any encouragement? Something small, like when he shuts a door nicely instead of slamming it. When I started doing that, my son exploded, and things got worse. He finally told me he thought I was being sarcastic and didn't know I really meant it. That led to a nice talk and huge changes. It's amazing the behaviors we have to cope with-our kids. Not always healthy responses. Your son, although 17, is probably more on the emotional level of a 12-yr-old. Keep that in mind as you go through this process. Congrats on getting a neuropsychologist evaluation. Hey, you got him to go in for the appointment. That's a huge thing! {{hugs}} [/QUOTE]
