[QUOTE="sjexpress, post: 400105"] I don't know what my next step should be. My difficult child who is verbally and at times physically abusive has now begun to refuse to go to school because he is tired! The last few weeks, every couple of nights, he has been waking up about an hr. after going to sleep, refusing to try to get back to sleep and staying up until about 1am. Usually when I wake him in the morning to go to school, he does. Not today. He absolutely is refusing to go and has now missed the bus. I told him I will not call him in sick and he is freaking out. I don't even know what the school can do about this. difficult child already has more sick days this year then ever because he is always telling me he is sick (stomach aches) but then right after I call him in sick, he is hungry and acting fine. I have offered to drive him in and he says fine, but says he won't get out of the car when we get there! What's the point! How do you get a 10 yr old difficult child who is as tall as you and weighs more than you to do what they have to??? He is a great student, no problems in school, great grades, etc...just a huge problem at home! I am devastated that now he is going to throw his life away and not get his education, etc... I am sitting here in tears and at such a loss. He refuses to go to any psychiatrist appts I set up so we can not get going on medications either.
