[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 104081, member: 1161"] Hi David. As Sharon mentioned, you need to take care of yourself to take care of your son. Right now you see every situation through a fog of depression, and you can't make a good decision on what to do for your son in that way. Taking care of yourself IS taking care of your son. What we deal with with our kids is enough to bring anyone to their knees. I know I spent part of a few sessions with my difficult child's councellor talking about myself and she was happy to do that because as she said, I have to be in a state to deal with my difficult child as well. So make that appointment with a doctor right away, and keep this one. I hope that you can get yourself taken care of, and then you can better see whether this program is right for your son or perhaps another program, another evaluation with a psychiatrist or neurophyschologist might be beneficial. And anyone who doesn't have a difficult child just doesn't get it, so your family's reaction doesn't surprise me. They just see it as bad behavior, while we know there's more going on than that. It's sad that many families just don't "get it", my husband's family is one. Maybe they can come around and see that your son doesn't really like what he's done, but he needs more help than regular parenting can do. Welcome to the site David. Hope you can find the support you need with us. [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
