[QUOTE="Janna, post: 58394, member: 2737"] Hey Pamela, I understand your frustrations. I've had quite a few days lately I've had to lock myself in the bathroom for a while. You know, I'm sure this may come out the wrong way, and isn't intended to, but I don't think you putting difficult child in his room for an entire day and not talking to him is probably helping the situation any. Have you tried or done any type of behavior modification? Looked into getting someone into the home to help you find other ways to manage difficult child? It's been my experience that out of home counseling and therapy, at least for Dylan, has been pretty worthless. He goes in, they play games, draw, color, he bs'es with her for a bit, then we go home. He's had a dozen therapists, all very nice, but none that ever made a difference. The only time I had success was when we did Wrap Around, and had someone serious in the home, teaching us all. Medicine, although helpful, I am finding more and more as time goes on, is not going to "cure" the problem. Dylan has had incredible successes with medicine, but the bottom line is, his moods and emotions are so out of whack because of his disorders, that he needs to have some pretty intensive interventions to teach him how to basically be "normal". Just something to think about ~ maybe you could call a local Mental Health/Mental Retardation agency and find out about some help. [/QUOTE]
