[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 232333, member: 805"] clisa, welcome to the board. Our weekends are usually a little slow in regards to posting, but there is plenty of support and advice that will be coming your way. First, we understand. We understand the sentiment of loving but not liking our difficult children as they take control of our lives. What helps that feeling? Taking back control. Taking that control back is exactly what you are in line to do. Taking difficult child for screening Thursday is a first step. Hopefully the testing will bring about some changes. Often having a diagnosis is the first step in helping our difficult children gain some control back in their lives, as well as ours! From there you can begin treatment; usually a combination of medicine, therapy, accomodations at school, behavior modifications, etc. The second piece is making sure you take some time to nuture yourself. As a single mom, I know it's tough. Sometimes you just have to take that time after bedtime to read a good book, take a bubble bath, or phone an old friend. But it is important to do something for you. A couple questions for you. Has you son been diagnosed in the past or placed on medication? You say that he was doing really well from Aug to December. Was it this bad last year at school? What was done for him at that time? What kind of screening is he having on Thursday? Is this the first in the screening process? Our difficult children usually benefit the most from a multidisciplinary evaluation (which is a complete testing screen done by doctors in different disciplines) or pediatric neuropdoc evaluations. Often times the process of figuring out what is going on with our children is long and complicated. I'm sorry to hear about your father. It is a heavy load you are carrying right now. Is biodad completely out of the picture? What type of medical history is there in the family (on both sides)? Any mental, emotional, or substance abuse issues? Genetics play a big piece with our difficult children. You may have to sit down and have an honest conversation with your boss. Is there any way you can make up the time you are missing by taking work home? They have to understand that your son needs you most now. Listen, I'm glad you are here. You may not have known anyone with a child like yours before, but you are on your way to knowing hundreds now! You are not alone. We will be here along side of you for whatever you need.
