[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 398707, member: 1722"] Welcome. I'm sorry you had to find us. I agree with-gcvmom... this may be symptomatic of a new (or previously underlying condition) coming to the forefront. School refusal is usually linked to anxiety but depression can play a role too. I'd want any medications re-evaluated for effective doses and a re-evaluation of HIM to ensure you are not looking at a whole new beast here (symptoms popping up at puberty can possibly signal mood disorders). We aren't doctors and can't diagnose, but I think your son's behavior warrants a re-evaluation. As for your ex: thank him for his support and let him know that (unfortunately) his words have backfired. Ask him to try to mend the relationship with his son so that your son has a trusted adult to turn to (sorry... I doubt that will be you for a few years). Also, ask the school for a FBA and BIP in writing, send it certified. He needs an IEP (if he doesn't have one) asap to protect his educational rights. Your longtime boyfriend? Try to find some time alone and mend that relationship. Support for YOU is of the utmost importance to your family's well-being. [/QUOTE]
