[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 683581, member: 13260"] Oh boy, STA, you've got your hands full. Dear grandson is still sleepy, starving all the time, but he was so underweight from the years of stimulants since he was five that he needed the weight gain and some growth. Every one except his father thinks that he's doing better. The doctor wants to double the dose from 2.5 mg to 5 mg, but his butt is being so kicked by this dosage and he is better, so we're holding back for now. I do really dread puberty, and I'm so afraid of getting police involved. We had an 18 year old girl with well-known mental health issues shot and killed in my little town last year when the family called for help. The sheriff's office, who was very acquainted with her, sent out a brand new person, two days on the job, and this poor girl was dead with 18 seconds of him rolling up on the scene. She was holding an electric drill motor, not plugged in, standing in her driveway, all 5 feet tall of her, and under 100 pounds. One of our very own members here lost her son the same way. I'm scared to death of the police. The father calls the police all the time, which is one reason dear grandson refuses to go over to his father's house anymore. We have never felt the need yet, but if he's putting his sister or us at real physical risk, I guess we'll do what we have to do. We're already trying to come up with a plan because he's gone from 50 pounds in July to 85 pounds now. And boy he's strong, especially in the middle of a temper flare. Today, on my job, I got socked hard in the face by a six year old boy, knocked to the ground, nose bloodied, and contact lens knocked out of my eye. And absolutely no consequences for the boy because it's a function of his disability. He has hurt every single person in his classroom and caused untold property damage (in addition of hitting me, he broke $75 dollars worth of my equipment that I brought for him and his classmates to use for their adapted PE class). I'm too old for this....feces. These kids are making me so tired. I need a vacation! Things will be better tomorrow. My grandson is on his first field trip without a family member, and that's amazing for us. We've been worried all day, but no phone calls yet. If he pulls this off, what a victory for him and for us, so that's one thing to feel very hopeful about. Up until now, he's had to have one or two of us on every field trip or he wouldn't be allowed to go. Hugs to all feeling the struggle. Thanks for you shares, commiseration, and understanding.
