[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 533709, member: 1514"] HA- is it all possible to get respite or even some Residential Treatment Center (RTC) placement for Angel? I actually can understand how you feel about your oldest son. Sometimes us moms go through things when we were younger that we simply had no idea what was going on. That happened to me. I was miserable for years and my family thought I had the worst case of PMS that was ever known for years until my youngest son was diagnosed with bipolar and I read The Bipolar Child and recognized myself in that book. Oh my gosh! Someone had been looking in on my life...lol. Thats when I realized that I wasnt crazy and what was wrong with me had a name. I finally got diagnosed and treatment at 38. Before then it was pretty much a war zone with me being a miserable witch and their dad having to run interference so I didnt do too much damage. Thankfully I did realize I had some problems so I handed off a lot of parenting details such as discipline to their dad because I was afraid I would hurt them. They dont remember any of this though. Or say they dont. In your case, with that much violence going on, I would try to get everyone separated fast. Thankfully my kids didnt fight to that degree. Sure they fought because they were boys but not to really hurt each other badly. Yours are attempting to really hurt each other and they can literally mess up the rest of their lives now. If your son has a college degree in psychology and gets arrested well his future is zip. You have a two bedroom place but even with 3 kids you can portion off places in the house for the other two so that they each have a place to get away from each other. You say the youngest sleeps in the kitchen. Then partition off a place in the living room or dining room for your son. Or didnt you say you have a basement? Make a place down there for him. He needs some place for himself. You can do it with curtains or even furniture. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
