[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 172075, member: 1550"] Welcome to the board. I'll give a few suggestions a shot--and others will come along too with ideas of their own. Maybe look for somewhere he can live after he turns eighteen or even right now. If he is willing, you may want to have him get another evaluation to see if somebody else can help him more than this Psychiatrist has. Yes, I know he's probably seen twelve doctors already, but it may take thirteen to hit it lucky. I favor neuropsychologist evaluations. Are there any mood disorders on either side of the family tree? Substance abuse? Will Dad help out? Is your son maybe taking recreational drugs beyond pot (not that pot is good, but when they say "I'm just smoking pot" it very often means "I'm doing a lot more than that.") If he is, there's not much you can do unless he decides to quit. Little bro deserves a safe environment. Is your fiance truly up to dealing with your kids? Are you up to dealing with his kids? My advice: Think hard before you leap, especially with younger son not liking him either and his child having Aspergers (which can be difficult). Maybe pre-martial counseling would help you become a working family once you marry. I wish I'd done this with my hub! Poor guy didn't know what hit him--thankfully it worked out (don't want to discourage you). However, pre-marital counseling would have really helped our entire family. Your son sounds like he both has thoughts of killing himself and others--I would seriously wonder if he had bipolar. That's NOT a diagnosis because I am not qualified to make one. I'm just wondering if any psychiatrist has ever suggested that. If so, has he ever been on a mood stabilizer? (Lithium, Depakote, Trileptal, Tegretal, Lamictal). I'd see that neuropsychologist. THey do great evaluations :) Welcome to the board. I'm sorry you had to come here though. [/QUOTE]
