[QUOTE="LoonyAlana, post: 618963, member: 17555"] Super fun times... apparently now someone called CPS on us for "Medical Neglect". Apparently, all the visits to his pediatrician, the neurologist, the psychologist, the play therapist, and an appointment set up for the end of February (the earliest I could get) with a pediatric psychiatrist is worth nothing, and evidence of neglect. Well, I'm being sardonic, even the CPS official quickly realized that this 'is a waste of time' because we obviously ARE NOT neglecting him... but seriously? Just two nights ago, for an hour I was punched, kicked, scratched, bitten, had various items in the house destroyed, and was told repeatedly "I am going to kill you" by my 5 year old because I would not give him the TV remote. I didn't hit him, I calmly spoke to him, restrained him gently with 'hug jail' to attempt to keep him from hurting himself or me... But I'm accused as being not just a bad parent, but neglecting my son? I feel like the world is out to get me because of my son, that everything he does just makes people think I am some monster. He's getting worse on a daily basis, and I've been trying to convince my husband that we NEED to hospitalize him at this point. If I hadn't been so worried about how mad my husband would have been, I would have called 911 and asked for mental health officers the other evening. Despite only being 5, my son scared me. He truly did, but my husband is STILL against taking him to a mental health facility. I'm downtrodden, and just sinking further into the pit of despair. [/QUOTE]
