[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 660200, member: 13260"] SecondTimeAround, glad to hear your boy is doing better, although it sounds like your road (and his) have been rough. No, no Medicaid here. He's with Kaiser, and is being seen by several therapists in the Child and Teen Psychiatric services for four years now. We don't have official custody, but do have many hours of care that falls to us (and that we're happy to accept) because his mother works as a dental assistant, isn't getting any child support, etc. Difficult Child refuses to have anything to do with his father right now, and has only spent two nights with him over the last three months, and it didn't go well. The CPS case against his father and step-mother isn't closed, so we are all waiting on that report and recommendation. He has so much anger and anxiety toward his father, and we have no idea how long it will be before it's resolved. We have no idea what's going on with this boy. So smart, handsome, sweet and caring, and then there's the other stuff. Right now he's sound asleep on the couch and it's breaking my heart that he has this "thing," whatever it is, that he's taking a drug for (Intuniv) that is knocking him out in the middle of a gorgeous day. I'm actually crying about it. I hate it. I know that this a temporary reaction to this drug, and I so hope it works for him. [/QUOTE]
