[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 431912, member: 1550"] Ok... I know it's hard for you and for your other kids (and I NEVER discount the healthy kids who deserve a safe, calm house), but do you really think your son is doing this on purpose, to bother all of you? Tics and stims can both get worse under stress so that makes it look even more as it they are doing it on purpose. If it turns out he has Tourettes Syndrome, which he may, it is a medical condition which causes behavioral problems. There is help for it, but no real group home for a medical problem. Just like if a child has cancer and is demanding, in my opinion unless he is physically harming the other kids, they have to learn that their brother has a disability. They have to learn to deal with it. in my opinion he is not being "bad" on purpose. I think it would really be helpful to you to get into therapy yourself...aside from your children. You can explore your feelings about your child, and hopefully get great feedback, and learn how to make time for yourself so that you are refreshed and able to face the special challenges your son has. I don't believe that you don't love your son. I know you do or you wouldn't be here. But perhaps you are resenting him because he is difficult and of course he knows that. I wish you luck. Hey, spoil yourself. Go to a spa for a day...lol. Just take a good book out of the library, take a relaxing bubble bath, baby yourself as you walk this journey with your family. Trust me, been there, done that. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
