[QUOTE="nandz, post: 362253"] I was in the same boat as you for a while. My husband was in extreme denial about our difficult child and his diagnosis. He was unwilling to medicate. It finally took our difficult child getting some reports from his kindergarten teachers for him to really open his eyes to realize that difficult child really does have some issues that needed addressed. It was only after that time did he finally open up to me and tell me his concerns about medications. He finally realized that difficult child needed medications to better improve his way of life. Now that difficult child is on the medications, husband really sees the difference in his behaviors and attitudes. It took some time. Your husband may be in denail or he may be just really worried about your difficult child and the effect the medications will have on him/her. Is he willing to talk to anyone about his concerns about medications or does he just say no without giving any reasons why he is against medications? I hope you can talk about it and if medications are the right choice for difficult child then I hope you and your husband can come to understanding for the best outcome for your difficult child. I'm not sure about medicating without his consent. I can tell you I did that and it caused A LOT of trouble in our marriage and it's not worth it. I hope you guys can talk about it. [/QUOTE]
