[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 387323"] I agree with the others that if he is taking all of those different medications and is still behaving in that manner at home than either he is not taking the right medications, or something is missing. You can not continue to live that this. It's unfair to you, to your easy child, and it's really unfair to difficult child. You need to sit down with the psychiatrist and tell him exactly what you have told us. Write it down if you have to, so that you can remember specific dates and incidents. Make sure that they understand the level of concern you have for your own safety and for the safety of your children. Not only could he hurt you, but he could hurt himself as well. Make that absolutely clear and make sure they understand it. Like someone else said, if you are not forecful they will pat you on your head and send you on your way. I've had it happen to me and it took two more years before I was able to start down the road of getting help for my difficult child. I have to say that I know exactly how you feel. My difficult child is fabulous at school, but at home he can be beastly. In the past when teachers have asked me how he behaves at home and I describe it to them they look at me like I'm crazy. They just can't imagine that the sweet, quiet, respectful child that sits in their classroom and never speaks out of turn is the disrespectful, rude bully child that I describe to them when he is at home. I understand the frustration, the depression (I just started taking Wellbutrin to help with that), the anxiety, and the anger. And I totally understand how your easy child feels (mine feels the same way at times). Don't give up!! We are here to help you. Try the Ross Green book. I came from a family of yellers and smackers so when I had kids that was all I knew. I quickly learned that those methods didn't work for difficult child so I needed to fine another way. It took years. I'm still trying to impelement CPS here in the house, but then I can do it I find that it is a pretty successful method of problem solving. Pam [/QUOTE]
