[QUOTE="Ethansmom, post: 654831, member: 18981"] Wow. I can't even begin to tell all of you how excited I am to have found this website. I have felt so alone for so long. I have done everything I possibly can for my son and you are right when you say he is wired differently. There is a lot of background that I did not provide on here as it is too much to share. As far as medical and psychological I have done everything I can possibly do for my son. Sleep studies, counselors, medications off and on, he has always had an IEP at school, psychiatrists, psychologists...you name I have done it. It wasn't until recently that he started some new medications that we slowly started seeing the changes. He takes an antidepressant, ADD medication, and an anxiety drug to help shut down his thoughts at night so he can go to sleep. He has a good heart. I see it all the time, but other times he is a terror. He use to scare me to the point that I would lock my bedroom door when I went to bed. Not so much anymore. He is finally seeing a Dr that understands and genuinely listens to me and my opinion. I have dealt with Dr's who simply looked at me like my parenting was the problem. I just want peace in my house again. I don't want it to be my son against the house and me trying to pacify everyone. I don't want to be the mediator. Everyone tells me I am doing the best I can and that I am a good mom, even his social worker said she wished more parents were like me. But in my mind I just wish I didn't have to go thru this. I wish my kid could be good and control himself. I wish he could be respectful and obient. [/QUOTE]
