[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 522492, member: 2196"] MidwestMom, difficult children' dad is pretty much useless. He has never been to one single IEP for difficult child 1 (even though he has been repeatedly invited) and he does not go to back to school nights or open house. The kids absolutely hate going over there. Both ex and stepmonster trash talk me in front of them. They hate that. They are never allowed to even mention my NAME when they are over there or else they will get yelled and screamed at. They cannot express their emotions over there. As for stimulants, I am very reluctant to try them with him. difficult child 1 had a severely psychotic episode with her very first pill. It was a night mare. I do not want to go through the same with difficult child 2. I know he is a different kid but still I am scared of stimulants, and he already rages at the slightest provocation. I will research his current medication and find out what would happen if he were to skip a few doses. My guess is it will mess with him if he just stops the medication completely. I know when my psychiatrist discontinues one of my medications he has to titrate down so I don't get really bad side effects like I would if I were to just stop taking them. [/QUOTE]
