[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 173507, member: 1550"] Hi. This is a good guess, but just a guess. WHen a child deteriorates that badly, it is usually due to recreational drug use and my guess is that it's beyond pot. Some drugs don't show up in drug tests. Some kids abuse over the counter medications. Some crush and snort ADHD medication. At any rate, my daughter went from "a little sad sometimes" to totally out of control, and we didn't know what the problem was either (we were told bipolar and a little pot use). To make a very long story short, she is clean now and we are shocked at how deeply she had been involved in drugs. We had never guessed. She not only snorted the ADHD drugs with/without cocaine, but hse did ecstasy, downers (for sleeping) and even some heroin (twice). She used to shoot up in the soles of her feet, but usually did not shoot up. She was hospitalized and they did NOT catch the drug use and she denied it. The drug test was negative. She also changed her friends (big red flag). Usually what parents know is a drop in the bucket to what are kids are actually doing. Your son actually sounds more violent than my daughter. She only completely lost it a few times. She did sleep a lot, but we thought that was because she was going to school and doing homework late at night (um, it hadn't been homework). Nobody ever figured out her problem. She had to tell us after it was over. SHe still gets upset more easily than other people and sometimes gets a little depressed, but she is not on medication nor will she take any now. She hates drugs now AND drinking (don't rule out heavy drinking). I wish you luck in finding a place for your son. [/QUOTE]
