[QUOTE="klmno, post: 208395, member: 3699"] Terry, I'm really sorry that you are struggling through this. I know I've said this before and it might not be what you want to hear, but he sounds EXACTLY like my difficult child 2 years ago. I went through the same trial-and-error, "don't know what to believe" processes that you are. The ONLY thing that has helped my son are mood stabilizers and the concept behind TEC book. In short, I agree with the officer who said it was a mental health issue. Trust me, if he gets thrown in the legal system, it could do more damage than good for all of you. Based on the information that I have gotten from the more qualified professionals, in this day and time, just because a kid is diagnosis'd BiPolar (BP) and put on mood stabilizers doesn't mean that they will live a life having to take a handful of medications daily and not being able to function in mainstream or be a professional themselves. It isn't a life of doom and the sooner their issues are treated, the better their chances are. I obviously can't say that your son needs to be on MS's, but it is clear that the current treatment is not sufficient and it appears that the ADHD/ODD is not accurate. Have you been keeping a log and discussing this with a child psychiatrist? Really, I do send you hugs and support. It took us a long time to see any hope in this situation so I know it is difficult. I just want you to understand that you can't force the answer to be what you might want it to be or to be something that is easier for you or husband to accept. {{HUGS}} [/QUOTE]
