[QUOTE="Robinboots, post: 327722, member: 4542"] Well...gosh, I'd better look at my siggy, can't even remember what I put there, lol! Our youngest is the only one at home, he just turned 12. He mostly shuts down when there are huge blow-ups, or even smaller ones. We do talk to him about it, he knows there's something not quite right; we don't hide anything, and we answer questions, but we try not to discuss the really bad/really serious stuff around him. My husband has a stent in his heart, from about 4 years ago; this past June he was diagnosed with kidney cancer. He's okay for now, except a mild case of just-discovered emphysema. I can't get the man to eat breakfast, so not much I can do about his other health issues! The cancer so far has not spread, he had his right kidney removed June 1. And he's mostly all recuperated from that, but it was really, really hard when my son accused him of abuse and we had all the court issues to deal with about the same time. Plus the estrangement with my mom and sister (the latter had nothing to do with my son, altho it didn't help); now he's taken to lying about my sister too, so we're kinda coming together over that. Go figure. J did take the Risperdal last night. He said he couldn't sleep, but I suspect it had nothing to do with the drug - it would be unusual, at least. Probably more likely being online till all hours, as is his habit. Today he seemed more mellow; his sarcasm and biotching was less cutting, and he was more conversational I guess...I have some hope, at least! And his counselor called today, to reschedule - not the most reliable guy, but the state found him, finally, 3 months after counseling was court-ordered. He didn't even blink when I told him J was seeing a psychiatrist, just asked what he was prescribed and indicated that was about right. Of course, he also said he didn't necessarily agree with "conduct disorder", more likely ODD. I was kind of like "whatever" because this guy had NO background, or history, was told nothing except what J elected to inform him. Nice, huh? Me? Some of my friends wonder how I'm still standing. I actually scheduled a nervous breakdown for last July, but it keeps getting postponed. Maybe January would be good time? [/QUOTE]
