[QUOTE="Malika, post: 418641, member: 11227"] Hershey, sounds like things are getting really stressful and unmanageable your end... I can't imagine how you do it, with the other children to look after. My son isn't as aggressive or difficult to be with as your little boy and yet I sometimes find myself really raging and stressing inside at what is only "inappropriately or excessively cheeky" behaviour that feels kind of disrespectful to adults but isn't violent or hostile. So... I can only imagine how I'd be feeling in your place. But... sounds like he really does need appropriate help and he just isn't getting it. Forgive me, I don't understand how US healthcare works (or doesn't work as some might say) and I am not clear about why you can't get the psychological services and evaluations that everyone here talks about... Is there a way you can do this privately or is it all just too expensive? Please don't have your son committed... do take care of yourself and find ways to manage the intolerable stress you are under if you can... There ARE solutions and help. But I know what it feels like to be submerged in it and feel there's no way out... some months ago I was fantasising all the time about asking my ex-husband (the adoptive father) to take J to live with him and his family as I just couldn't cope... or felt I couldn't. But things have got better and I feel stronger and more confident as I have got more knowledge and understanding (even though I still lose it with him at times) and our relationship has been transformed from constant battling, raging and unpleasantness to something a lot more manageable. This is what gives me optimism and hope that these situations can be improved. [/QUOTE]
