[QUOTE="DDD, post: 297872, member: 35"] Welcome. I have not experienced your exact problems...just a couple of them spread out among the various kids. My gut tells me that he is not appropriately diagnosed and medicated. on the other hand my gut tells me that he is not going to accept a diagnosis and take medication either. Bummer. Over the many years I have been part of this cyber family a number of members have had very similar problems. Many have changed the locks on the doors once their difficult child has opted to leave. Many have notified the difficult child in writing that he/she is no longer welcome to share the family home. Many have put together contracts that had to be signed and adhered to before the difficult child could have an option to return home. I'm sorry it is so difficult for you. Getting on the same page (sometimes writing it helps) with you husband is really important. Explaining to the siblings that difficult child has to be on his own for awhile etc. etc. "can" help make them feel secure at home and not like traitors to their big brother. Sadly, you and husband have to agree on consequences for now and the future or it just won't work. The younger children do deserve to live without fear and trauma. I don't envy you but like the rest of our cyber family I will be hear to listen to you any time you need to vent. We do help each other. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
