[QUOTE="pigless in VA, post: 690688, member: 11832"] Welcome to the board, Lena. :welcomecat:I encourage to add a signature to your posts. If you click on your name in the upper right corner of your screen, a drop down menu will appear. Click on "signature" to create one. It's a way of letting others know the make-up of your family. I cannot think of any advice for you at this moment, but I completely understand the frustration and fear you feel. My husband became psychotic in the last few months of his life. I am not even sure the therapists that my kids and I see have seen someone that ill. Mental illness is a horrible, twisted thing. It can take an loving person and turn them into a nightmare. I know. You've probably already done this, but does your son have a motion alarm on his bedroom door so that you are alerted if he gets up during the night? I would not leave him alone ever. I recognize that he's turned your home into a battle zone. I'm so sorry. I'm hoping some of our other members will have some ideas of where you can go for additional help. I know there is something called "respite care" for children with issues. I don't know how you access it. I know you're weary. I know you're frustrated. I know you want to help your son but cannot seem to find the right help. I know you're terrified day in and day out. I know you want the doctors to fix this problem, but the medication roller coaster seems to do more harm than good. I offer you a :grouphugg:This is a place where parents understand. We won't judge you and we get it. [/QUOTE]
