[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 342968, member: 1233"] I am so sorry. As a single mom, are there any relatives who can help? Maybe he could go stay with one of these people for a while? It really is crucial for you and your other son to get respite. At 14 your Aspie probably needs a male to enforce rules. It was crucial for us. My son actually was beating me (wanting to) anytime I "bothered" him. He wound up living with my parents, where he lives to this day. It made a HUGE difference. My husband didn't really "click" with him or understand him, in spite of being his biodad. He also was not home as he commuted 90 min each way to work. My parents are close by, and always involved in Wiz' life. It was that, a long stay at an Residential Treatment Center (RTC), or give him up to the juvie system. I pressed charges for domestic violence and my dad begged for a chance before we sent him to an Residential Treatment Center (RTC). There IS hope, but you have to get through this. CPS may be your best hope. It may be that a therapeutic foster home is needed for him. He just may not be safe to have living in your home, esp with your health. Kids like ours take a HUGE toll on our health. I went from having long term problems but functioning to being hardly able to walk. Literally. I am fighting my way back but it is SLOW. This is an awesome source of support. Keep posting and you will find a whole world of advice, help, ideas and friendship. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
