[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 514706"] I have felt the same way on many occasions. I get resentful of difficult child for what he has done to our family unit. It's not what I thought our family would be like when husband and I chose to have kids. No one ever says when they hold their baby for the first time, "Oh, I can't wait for him to grow up and suffer from mental illness." Do you work outside the house? If not, I would strongly suggest that you take time out during the day, while he's at school, to do something for YOU. Be it read a book, work on a hobby, go for a walk to clear your head. You need to be able to have a few minutes that are all about you and not all about your son. And don't let the "perfect parents" get to you. They have no idea what it's like to raise square peg kids in a round hole world. What medications is he taking? Maybe what he's on is not he right medication for him. My son has done really well in risperdal, but we've had to take him off of two ssri medications because they just made him beastly. Aggressive, quick tempered, violent. It was not a good scene. Talk to the psychiatrist and see if the thinks that a medication change might be in order. [/QUOTE]
