Help.
I received an e-mail from the ex telling me if difficult children behavior does not improve by end of summer he will either 1) request that I get 100% custody of him or 2) send him to a boarding school/facility.
My son's behavior is the worst at my home. There is no way I can handle him on my own 100% of the time. I do not have any friends nor family here. It is hard enough having him ten days a month by myself.
Although not a complete surprise that things are not as perfect at his house as he has led the doctors and me to believe, still it was unexpected. He has never said once to the doctors that he has a problem with difficult child's behavior in his home. It has always been that difficult child just has ADHD and all the behavior problems occur at my house. I have begged him to call the doctors today and let them in on the whole story. I really hope he does. Of course I will call the doctors but once again, if it is my word against his, it will do little good. They have never been interested in reading our e-mail correspondence about difficult child.
We need behavioral therapy as well a better medical plan. Things are clearly not well at either home. My son has been treated at Texas Children's hospital for years but unfortunately they do not have a behavior therapy program nor have they been helpful at referring us to a therapist. I spoke to them about this AGAIN at his appointment last month. The times we have tried on our own to find someone to help us has been a waste of time and money so we have given up on therapy over the past two years.
Any advice on finding someone to help us? Anyone in Houston with a recommendation for a therapist?
Also, anyone out there have a difficult child on Risperdal even with elevated Prolactin? difficult child's meltdowns were milder and less frequent when he was on Risperdal but doctors pulled him off it two years ago when his Prolactin became elevated (no physical symptoms.)
thanks in advance
