[QUOTE="xlagirl, post: 357899"] Hi Tiapet, Thank you for sharing your story with me. Your right about it being very scary and I am so worried about doing the wrong thing. My son raged again today, today of all days when I had my new boyfriend come over to meet the kids. Ugh! I had already told my boyfriend about my son and his illness and he said that he was prepared and ready for anything. Well, he got the full treatment today! My son hit me, scratched me, kicked me, punched me, kicked doors, threw everything in sight and said every nasty thing out of his mouth that he could think of. The boyfriend didn't run! After it was all over, he was very understanding and he shared with me that one of his grown sons (26 now) is Bi-Polar. He says that he has seen it all, and for me not to worry. I'm glad that he got to see both sides of my son today.... cause this is reality, this is our life. Your exactly right about the restraints, they used to work good when he was a little younger, but no he is too strong and it really does just escalate things much worse! After reading all the responses from everyone, I have finally made a decision to put him in inpatient care. I have known for awhile that he really needs to go, but I have been resisting due to fear, and thoughts of being a faliure to him. I know I just have to be strong and do it! It's going to be soooooo, sooooo hard to check him in the hosptial and then just walk away and leave him in their care. It will be a very sad day I'm sure. I know it has to be done before something even worse happens. And honestly, I am looking forward to him finally getting on better medications. I know it will make him a happier little guy once he is stabalized. You right also about Focalin not working! In my opinion, it has made things a lot worse for him. MidwestMom, you are so right! He does need someone to help him with his social skills and having a two way give and take conversation. I agree that he will have no life skills if someone doesn't help him. He has NO friends, and never has had any. Kids at his school just tease him and make him angry, and he gets in lot's of fights. I always feel so sad for him because he doesn't know what it's like to even have a friend. I will try and find someone that can help with his social skills. We had a specialist once before (while we lived in Oklahoma) that was working on some manners, social skills, and learning right from wrong. I need that again. Thank you all so much! :happy: [/QUOTE]
