I am so at my witts end with my 5 year old boy. He is extremely defiant, screams at the top of his lungs, gets violent with his sister. I also have a 2 year old girl and a 8 month baby boy. Life is difficult as my husband works 6 days a week 12 hour days. I am the only one basically raising my kids. My mom and dad tend to take my 5 year old as he is very close with them. There are days I cant stand to have him home. I dont know what to do.
I have taken him to our local mental health clinic for kids and they wont help me. They keep telling me that until the behavior is taken care of at home they wont look at putting on medications. I have tried everything they have said and his behavior is escalating. It is so hard for me to have him home during the week without my husband home. They are also telling me that originally they said he was adhd which totally fits how he acts and now they are telling me he has ptsd instead.
If anyone can help me with advice or anything it would be appreciated. No one understands what I am going through with him at home... my mom is finally starting to see the same behavior at her house.... he actually tried to run away cause he couldnt get a game that he wanted.
