[QUOTE="MuM_of_OCD_kiddo, post: 456292, member: 12241"] Good morning Sunxstone, I read Chris' post the other day and took the time to read some of your previous ones as well. While you are getting well meant advice to the latest posts, I don't think the posters realize the seriousness of your sons issues. Perhaps you can update your siggy with all of his diagnosis's to give a better idea, as well as his treatments in addition to the medz cocktail. It looked to me that earlier this summer you all had been trying to get all of the agencies involved in his care to get together and come up with a common approach - what happened with this? You stopped posting after that - so did things work out satisfactory, or were things put on the back burner due to summer break? How is it going now that the kids are going back to school? Also in one of the earlier posts, I thought I understood that easy child remained with her bio dad, is she now living with you? It sounds to me that it is time for [B]you personally[/B] to make a decision - continue to live with chaos, war and daily upheaval - and possibly risking your marriage/relationship over it. Try to get his medications changed/adjusted some more, perhaps changing his therapist/psychiatrist and both of you adults trying to work with him some more to see if you can come to a stage where you all can live/co-exist more or less peacefully together. Or make that hard decision to look for outplacement/residential care for him. If you still feel endangered, threatened, pets are getting hurt or injured - and if you have easy child living with you - putting her at risk as well - you do have the responsibility to see yourself and the rest of the family safe. It is hard to send a child away - but it may be something that needs to be done - not only to give you guys some rest and safety and a chance to recover from the upheaval, but also to provide him with the best professional care he can get to deal with his issues... Big Hugs to you all! [/QUOTE]
