[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 587293, member: 1631"] Welcome Corrie to our little corner of the world. Sorry you needed to find us but since you did I'm glad you found our soft place to land. I can totally relate to how the constant verbal abuse just wears one down. My difficult child has always been that way and still is. It is so draining. Most days I am able to let it roll off my shoulders, other days my rhino skin is worn thin and I just feel down. First off, know that his behavior is not your fault. You are not a failure. You know there is a problem and are taking steps to deal with it. It sounds like you have taken him to plenty of doctors. Is he still seeing a therapist? Have you ever taken him for a neuro-psychiatric exam? It can be very helpful when trying to get a complete picture of your child. I'm glad you are seeing some improvements with the medications but I know that those rages, even though fewer, take a lot out of you. I hope you are able to find some "me" time to refill your bucket so to speak. It could be reading a book, exercising, or just getting out of the house for a few hours. It is so important to take care of you. Again welcome and sending some gentle hugs your way. [/QUOTE]
