[QUOTE="DDD, post: 33955, member: 35"] Welcome. Sorry you needed to find us, but glad you did. If I am reading your post correctly your sons violent behavior has been going on for a year, he has been evaluated and yet the only medication that has been tried is Strattera?? He has been placed in multiple different environments and none of it has helped?? Most importantly both you and your dog feel threatened by him on a regular basis? I don't mean to be too blunt. Truth be known I am actually a fairly low key nice person who has been a child advocate for years BUT your son needs more help than you can provide. I think you should pick up the phone and tell "the system" that you love your son but can do nothing to help him without their professional help. I think you need to tell them that if they can not get him to an adolescent psychiatrist by the end of April that they need to line up a therapeutic foster home for him for May lst. That sounds pretty drastic, I'll admit. Your son needs help NOW (if it is not too late to break the destructive pattern) and it is easiest and cheapest for the system to let you deal with him. If he is placed in a therapeutic foster home the foster parents will be able to get help. They are part of the system and when they tell their supervisors that he must have help...I believe he will have the best shot at getting it. Obviously you have done a fine job of raising a large family. I read what you shared about your other children and that alone tells me that you are a caring, wonderful Mom. Your youngest boy has problems that are not your fault and that you can not solve. A number of people in our CD family have had to turn their children over to the system to assure that their kids got help AND that they remained safe. Give some thought to it. You deserve a more peaceful life. Sending hugs and a prayer. DDD [/QUOTE]
