I'm doing everything I've been told. We are trying to give difficult child J ways to channel his anger, ways to control his anxiety. I have an appointment with a psychiatrist for him in Feb. I'm trying to get a referral for a neuropsychologist exam.
I called the pediatrician today. Asked for a consult with one of the doctors. Explained why. The nurse calls back and says "she says he needs to see a psychiatrist." Well, DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I know that. We have an appointment, in Feb. We can't wait. We need help NOW. We need a neuropsychologist evaluation. We need to know what is going on with this kid.
I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE I'm so tired of the constant fights, the rages, the violence. Maybe I should just give him to his dad. I know that isn't a good option, but I really can't keep doing this. I just can't. I feel like such a failure.
We stripped his room on Friday, his 7th birthday. He bruised Moonwolf's ribs in the ensuing rage. He threw a matchbox car and barely missed easy child T yesterday.
I just don't know what to do anymore. I cried on the phone to the dr office today. I'm having a baby in 7 months, I can't keep myself and the kids I have NOW safe.
Sorry this really doesn't make much sense. The past week has been total horror. His case manager comes tomorrow. I'm gonna ask her what our options are now. I don't want him to live away from me, I just don't see how I am doing anyone any good keeping him here. I am just so lost and confused. I don't have any idea where to turn, what to do next. I'm heartbroken
