[QUOTE="gwenny, post: 246027, member: 6852"] Ok, so I have to ask a really dumb question? What is difficult child an abbreviation for? I'm not hip to all the abbreviations.lol. Again I just have to say I really felt alone until now. Well today we went to the psychiatric dr and she upped the Risperidone to 2 pills at night and 1 in the morning and added straterra for the adhd. She did say that she really feels that he has Conduct disorder more than ODD. She just never really says anything on how to handle anything. Just keeps telling us to get him into long term care facility. We had to apply for state insurance as our insurance with copays are killing us. Plus insurance does not cover more than 7 days in patient care. We are going to a therapist tomorrow morning and I am hopeing she can guide us on what to do. As for his mother I don't think very much of her!! (not because she's my husbands ex) She is very manipulative with the kids, wants to know all of our business, and provokes my stepson into reallys stupid conversations. for example: she wants him to tell her how much cuter her dog is than mine.. She allows him to curse on the phone, alows him to bad mouth people and she laughs with him. As for the magazines she did send them because I open all the mail prior to giving him anything.(as per my husbands request.) Also she wants to send him a cell phone so they can talk privatly because I listen to the conversations between him and her. As for my son he is just a true gift. He gets moody and acts up but I allow him to express his feelings and vent because I have a pretty great support team to vent too!! He does get to spend nights at his friends house just to get away. As for my husband, I love him dearly. But he knew that this was going to be hard and we spoke about his son living with us for months. My husband was totally up for the challange. Now he is worn out emotionally. I feel that I could probably deliver my days fustration alot better, but sometimes I can't take it and when he walks inn I just start talking. We have now started putting my stepson to bed at 8pm because he told the dr's at the hospital he was probably passing out because he is tired...haha so now you go to bed 1 hour earlier and we can spend from 8-9 with my son on how his days are going. So peaceful this way. As for the argueing with my stepson what I have read during my sleepless nights is that arguing with him is no good as he loves to argue. So now I end any arguements with this is how its going to be end of conversation. (This works about 30 percent of the time) better than nothing. He has a very long track record of threatning people with physical harm or even death.He even went after his older brother with an ax and his brother was able to hide in his room until police arrived.

I'm going to lay down for an hour or so, its been such a long day and I have another long day tomorrow.. Thank you everyone for your support.
