[QUOTE="Olligator, post: 537533, member: 14806"] Thanks for all of the support and advice; it really does ease the burden a bit when you realize you are not alone. The idea of a journal is a great one, I will start doing that. he has been on the trileptal for a little over a year. THe intuniv started in January. We are going to wean him off of that because I believe it makes things worse. Since there has been some improvements with the trileptal, we are going up that dose to see how he tolerates it. I do my best to not take difficult child's comments personally, and some days it's easier to handle than others. I just need my family back...a family that will speak to each other and want to spend time together. We don't do things as a family because we don't know how difficult child will be... And that hurts his little brother who spends a lot of time saying I hate it when difficult child is mean to you. easy child gets so upset with the name calling and meanness that he now cries a lot. I'm tired of walking on eggshells to attempt to head off another tantrum. I don't want to fight with husband over difficult child--should we continue with private therapies or do we stop everything because it doesn't seem to be showing improvements. I am so confused. I'm convinced that difficult child would not have come as far as he has if not for the therapies. I don't want to quit them. On the other hand, the are very pricey. I need to make sure that the therapies we use are the correct ones. Are there any promising therapies on the horizon that can help, or is the same social skills dyad, and the same Occupational Therapist (OT) worth staying with. X [/QUOTE]
