[QUOTE="nvts, post: 364076, member: 3814"] Hi Jan! No worries about asking about stuff with the difficult child's - I look at it this way: my experience may help the next person avoid what I went through with my kiddos! He was getting way out of control. While no one (family and therapists alike) believed that he was suicidal/homocidal, he'd make comments about both constantly. "I'm going to kill myself/so and so if I can't get x, y or z." His explosions were getting more and more aggressive, extremely disrespectful AND taking dangerous actions (riding his bike in front of cars and then mouthing off at the driver). What would normally be frightening turned out to be a great experience. We finally got him on a more appropriate medication and the hospital pointed us in the direnction of more resources. It was a grind, but we're hoping for a light at the end of the tunnel and to be truthful, I don't think I'd have had the nerve to do it if it wasn't for the people on here helping me out. One of the best things about going the hospital route was that they could titrate the medications a lot faster than outpatient, so we were better able to determine whether or not we were seeing improvements. Now don't get me wrong - he's still a pita! But we're still not at the therapeutic dose AND they had to release him sooner than they wanted to so therefore none of the other interventions were in place. Keep your chin up and feel free to ask me anything you need. Honestly, if I'm uncomfortable answering, I'll say so! :happy: Gotta go - the natives are getting restless~! Beth [/QUOTE]
