[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 382053, member: 3930"] eccooper, I broke down your questions from your post so we can see if we can address each one. [LIST=1] [*]how do we manage our daily lives [*]how do we live with his constant CD behavior [*]how do we manage our other two children almost like everything is ok although it's really not [*]how do we go to other friends homes and not worry about him stealing everything [COLOR="blue"]My thought on this is do you have respite care available in your area? Basically it is care you can put him in when you need/want to go do other things, so he is properly supervised. Try doing a google search on respite care in your area.[/COLOR] [*]how do we get the schools to understand his disorder [COLOR="blue"]Does he currently have an IEP in school? Has be been evaluated by the school? What issues does he have in school? If he has not been evaluated by the school, I think the first step would be to send a certified letter to your school district requesting a full and initial multi-disciplinary evaluation. There is a template on this site for a letter you can send. I am not sure where it is but someone can direct you.[/COLOR] [*]how to we keep our sanity and maintain a healthy marriage, etc, etc. [COLOR="blue"]Support - lots of support. Find others who are in a similar situation to talk to. Look for a support group. Come here to this site for support. Take time to nurture your marriage (respite care can help so you can get away together once in awhile).[/COLOR] [*]book or web site [COLOR="blue"]I have a full library of books that haven't helped me so far, so I am not sure what to recommend.
