[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 474703"] That is EXACTLY what I am saying. I have spoke to teachers through the years and when they have asked me what he is like at home and I tell them what goes on, they look at me like have two heads and am from Mars. One teacher even went so far as to tell me that I must be mistaken because he is so good in class. I have had his evaluated for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and they have told me no. I trust the doctor. He really seems to know what he is doing, so if he says no to the Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), I believe it. difficult child has never been in a psychiatric hospital or in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) facility. But there are days when I really and truly feel like I just don't want him here anymore. I don't trust him to behave and not lose it over really small things, which is what usually triggers his meltdowns. The other night it was over a glass. His father put the one he was using in the dishwasher and he lost his mind over it, screaming at me that I took his glass away. When I told him that I didn't touch his glass his reply was, "I'm blaming you, anyway." Really, what else is new? Maybe I'm just looking for some peace, because I know that when he's not here, that is what I have. Peace. I keep saying that I only have six more years until college, only for him to tell me that he wants to go to culinary school (he LOVES to cook). That's great, but culinary school is not a four year degree, and I was sort of counting on not having him in the house for four school years. Terrible, I know. I don't think that I am there yet. To the point of moving him to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), I mean. Some days are good with him. Some days are bad. Some days are just days, if that makes any sense. Thanks for your point of views. I appreciate it. Pam [/QUOTE]
