[QUOTE="WSM, post: 248808, member: 5169"] OMG, this is our story exactly, down to the 5 kids, and our difficult child having a psychotic BiPolar (BP) mother and my husband getting custody at age 3. "...They won't take him back at the hospital where he was because he behaved there. His psychiatrist (laugh now) doesn't believe there is anything wrong with him, in spite of the hospital diagnosis, other than "anxiety." He is physically and verbally aggressive, but calms down around professionals. He does go to Day Treatment, which his psychiatrist doesn't feel he needs. ALso, he does not act out there. They think she's stark raving nuts..." This is EXACTLY what we face. We are in FL. Ours isn't physically aggressive, he's covertly aggressive, sneaky, hostile, maliciously mean--and then plays innocent wounded puppy dog. Every fricking body outside our close family and friends thinks it's us. We too have been everywhere, psychiatristists, therapists, counsellors, hospitals, universities, military schools, therapeutic schools (they wouldn't take him, said their program would 'frustrate him', we think they were afraid of his constant abuse allegations), doctors, you name it, we've tried it--since he was FOUR. We can't even get him on medications, we tried THREE child psychiatrists, none would do it. It's like we are no longer trying to help, only to contain the unpleasantness, to save ourselves and our property, to survive reasonably intact until he's old enough to send on his own. We are withdrawing and replacing our affection with cameras and alarms and restrictions and constant surveillance. This isn't good. But we don't know what more to do...and we are well educated people living in a sophisticated metro area with decent insurance and family resources (altho I think in some cases having insurance is not so good). We aren't happy with how we are handling this, but we aren't getting help--in fact all we get is blamed, and we can't live forever being stressed and angry and in constant war. I hope someone has the answer. [/QUOTE]
