That's a direct quote from one of this therapists! They know his issues though and are going to try a little button pushing here and there. We took him to the psychiatric hospital here where we live they admitted him for IOP. It's been 3 weeks and 2 changes of medications and not one difference other than his mood has been stabilized with-medications. We tried Vyvanse the first week, that was a disaster! difficult child was completely out of control the whole weekend. Then she put him on Abilify the second week, much better! We have a new diagnosis of ADHD, ODD, intermittent explosive disorder, and a lot of mood disorder not otherwise specified sprinkled in for a little flavor.
The first two weeks in IOP he had the guys fooled that his anger and aggression was all aimed at women! HA! What about your brother, the guy that lives next door, and all the neighborhood boys?? We sat down and talked last weekend and he said he's just going along with whatever they think so he can get this over with. Told his therapist that, he explained to him quite firmly that it WON'T end until he sees REAL change in his behavior both at home and at school. Thank you!!!
I'm running on empty. I've had a cold for two weeks, a real doozy too. easy child 1 has had awards dinners and honors breakfasts and was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society and difficult child was a total BRAT during each of them! All because husband and I were focused on her successes instead of paying attention to him. husband finally told him, loudly, if he would put a little effort into school and not so much into defying everyone maybe we would have these kinds of things to go to for him!! easy child 2 has had ball games and band trips and end of elementary parties. School is out tomorrow and I dread it, is that bad?? Oh well if it is, then it is. At least husband has taken over much of the discipline so I don't have to add that to my honey-do list. Sorry this turned into kind of a rant, if you're still with me thanks for listening!
