[QUOTE="LoonyAlana, post: 618080, member: 17555"] For anyone that is 'following my story'... here is an update: Had to visit his pediatrician for a sick visit on this last Monday. Offered a 'reward' for 'good choices" and talked about the doctor before we went. He was even keen on seeing the doctor because of an 'issue' he was having. Everything was going well, he even acquiesced to our request to get his weight (usually even that is a fight)... then the doctor took out the stethoscope to listen to his heart. It took me and another adult, male nurse to hold a screaming, kicking, spitting child down just so the doctor could listen to his heart. She let me know at the end of the appointment, that if he continues this way, she will no longer be able (or willing) to treat him. That was just two days ago. Today, Wednesday, he got kicked out of his daycare. I would say I'm at my wit's end... but that happened a long time ago. I'm teetering on the edge. Not quite sure what will happen when I go over. I might need my own stay in a 'facility'... I know this is horrible, but if CPS showed up to my door tonight, I'd be begging them to take him. I can't control him, I can't get him to pay attention, I'm embarrassed to take him into public, to the doctor, to anywhere. I'm fighting desires to fall back into bad habits I haven't done in almost 20 years. I'm in a bad, bad place right now. I'm downtrodden, and don't foresee any hope at this moment in time. [/QUOTE]
