Hi! I know I haven't been around lately (mostly in the Watercooler) but difficult child 1 is going south rapidly. They've added mood disorder not otherwise specified to his diagnosis of aspergers and learning disability. My husband (now officially known as AH) and I separated over Easter break and difficult child 1 prior to and currently is spiraling out of control.
A list:
he's punching holes in walls
throwing things very forcefully
anxious about irrational things (my teachers at school will hate me if I don't get this done and will throw me out of the school)
cursing at everyone
threatening to kill everyone in the household, my sister and my dad
trip to the psychiatric e.r. and released
I'm meeting (without him - the State Tests are going on) with his psychiatrist, therapist and the therapist's boss tomorrow and I know that they're going to suggest medications.
A disclaimer for you all: I know you're not doctors (and to my knowledge never played one on TV), but have any of you dealt with this sort of behavior and had success with any type of medication? I want to read up on them so that I can make an informed decision and have her write the scripts.
By the way, my marriage is a train wreck and so am I - any help would really help with the stress levels here!
