[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 694629, member: 1631"] My son was the reason for me finding this board. I came here in the middle of the night in 2004. My son was violent and had absolutely no impulse control. At one point I was pushed down a flight of stairs by my son. He was hospitalized 6 times. At his last hospitalization they said if the new medication didn't help him they would recommend an out of home placement. We walked on eggshells for years. I took the brunt of his violence and have numerous scars. Fast forward to now- he is 19 and although he still struggles and always will, he is a different kid. He is doing so well compared to where he was. He has not been violent in several years (around 5 years). He will always struggle but he has come so far beyond everyone's expectations. We are so incredibly proud of him and all he has accomplished (which is not to say he doesn't still drive me crazy at times). He is on the "out team" at his school until he is 21. He works two jobs and volunteers three days a week at a senior citizen center. This is all arranged through his case manager but he puts in the time! Years ago, I thought he might end up in prison or on drugs. He is doing beautifully! There is hope. [/QUOTE]
