[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 433644, member: 3419"] [I]I didnt get a mothers day card or anything from my son this year because he thinks I dont deserve it. Alot of our problems come from the computer and video games. All he wants to do 24-7 is play video games and I wont allow it and thats where hes now fighting. I never believed in medication until recently. I will medicate him if it makes our home life alot better.[/I] That sounds familiar! And I know what you mean about the receptionist. I hate to tell you this, but in our case, our son had to get so out of control that we took him to a psychiatric hospital and he had a stay of a little less than a wk. They gave him Clonidine, which was great, and which we've been using ever since. But he was 10 ... I wish it had been 2. Talk about no one believing you! I know the feeling. Also, the psychiatric hospital gave us a lame diagnosis of Mood Disorder not otherwise specified. Grrr. I took difficult child to a private psychiatric who specialized in spectrum disorders and along with-lots of testing, he split hairs to help me determine whether difficult child was biopolar or Aspie. He also recommended a psychiatrist. It overlapped with-difficult child's time in the hospital, so things didn't work out the way we'd planned (do they ever?) but I've switched psychiatrists a cpl times and am very happy to have the one we have now. by the way, when you leave a dr, no matter how much you hate him or her (unless they have physically assaulted your kid), don't give a reason why you are leaving. Just type a brief note thanking the dr for his care and requesting the transfer of records. Don't burn any bridges. You never know who talks to whom and what may come back to bite you. And who you may need in the future. Just ask Prince Machiavelli. :) FWIW. [/QUOTE]
