[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 195285, member: 3930"] I think the reason I am going down this road of a PMT program is because he is doing fine at school (so far) but not at all at home. This makes me believe either: We are not managing his behavior at home, and they are at school -or- The medications are working but wearing off by the time he comes home from school school We need a way to manage his terrible behaviors at home. Our home is not a happy place. I suspect maybe a mood disorder. Sweet loving one second, out of control mean mad man the next. [B]Most all of it though stems from being told no, or not doing what he wants us to do when he wants us to do it. [/B] He is very demanding. The behaviors we want to change at home are: crying screaming raging throwing things hitting putting holes in doors spitting total disregard for everyone and everything swearing being mean to little brother and dog raising his hands at us like he is going to hit us telling us what to do not doing what we tell him to do not giving up when he wants something - no matter how many times he is told no won't sleep in his room by himself won't do ANYTHING he is told I go to Chadd meetings but mostly they don't help because it is all about getting information. I already have enough information. I need to know what to DO. We are not seeing the psychiatric anymore. Absolutely no help. I have read book after book after book. Nothing seems to work. I want to run away from my family, which is terrible!! He is 6!! I dread what he will be like as a teenager. Sometimes I think we get so hung up on diagnosis's and what to call it - when the real issue for us is -- [B]what do we do about it and how do we handle it?[/B] We cannot live like this anymore. Should I try a new medication when things are working at school? Everyday I hear "you are the worst mom ever", but I also hear "you are the best mom ever". Yesterday he told us he was going to find a new family to live with. It's exhausting. Thanks for the responses! [/QUOTE]
