[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 249929, member: 3419"] Donna, what a load off your shoulders, at least for the short term. I am so glad you got some sleep. That is really important. Can't believe your husband got chastised for being 1 min. late. Sheesh! It looks like your difficult child settled in pretty quickly. I wonder what he said to the boys about you? Probably that you're actually a transvestite Klingon nun with-leprosy, on leave from a Tibetan monastery. One thing kind of bothered me ... I was hoping your husband didn't say this within earshot of difficult child: "husband stated that difficult child has not paid any kind of price big enough for all the lives he is and has destroyed." I understand the sentiment, believe me, but difficult child is sick and lonely and desperate, and even he, who shows no signs of remorse, understands that his bio parents and his step parents don't want him. If there is any way you all can let him know that deep down, you still love him, it might help heal a tiny bit. That doesn't mean he shouldn't pay retribution if he has broken things, or apologize if he has kicked the dog deliberately ... but he has no clue how to control himself and, well, it's just hard. You are right, you can only hope to keep the impulsivity under control, and that is a good goal. The medications will help, and the dr sounds like he has a good handle on it. Keeping the impulsivity under control, and teaching difficult child what is appropriate in certain situations, is a fantastic, wonderful goal. I wish you all tons of luck and strength. I hope the doctors can get difficult child to fully participate in his new learning situation at the psychiatric hospital and group home or where ever he ends up. [/QUOTE]
