[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 244696, member: 1233"] Hi and Welcome! The others have great advice. I STRONGLY suggest the neuropsychologist evaluation, the book "The Explosive Child" and making a parent report to help you communicate with all the professionals involved. I will put a parent report link at the bottom of this post. I think mood disorders need to be looked into, and agree with MWM that the medications he is on/has been on would make those worse instead of better. NONE of us think you are a bad parent because he has problems. Not at ALL! As for your marriage, marriage counselling is almost a must. Or at least some time each week to talk in peace. It is hard to get, but very important. Anyway, the parent report - here is a link that talks about it: [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10[/url] This is, in my opinion, CRUCIAL to write. Do it in several chunks of time, not all at once. You don't have to give copies to each doctor/expert/school/etc... but you may want to share parts or all of it with some or all of them. I found it IMMENSELY helpful to put small photos of my difficult child at the beginning of each section, or in the middle of large sections, so that the docs remembered exactly which child this talked about. Stick around, you can't bring much of anything here someone hasn't experienced. This is a very supportive, loving and helpful group. Glad to have you join us (but very sorry you NEED to join us!) Gentle hugs! [/QUOTE]
