[QUOTE="mog, post: 258188, member: 1803"] My difficult child is ADHD, Bi-polar, ODD, hyperglycemic and has restless leg syndrome. It has been a struggle since age 2- I tried home remedies for years because I was afraid to put him on medications then when he started 5th grade he came home crying saying that if medications would help to please try it. the next couple of years were up and down trying to regulate his medications. Some worked ok and others made him rage. He has this ides that it is his responsibility to "save" his sisblings from me. He always interferes with me trying to disipline his siblings. He has had at least a hundred different therapists and we started losing control when one of them told him that it was my fault because my difficult child expects me to fix the world for him because I always made everything "fair" between the 4 kids --my two and my two step that we had full custody of (no contact with bio on either side). Then we lost control completely when we had a therapist tell difficult child that he was his own boss and that he didn't have to do anything that he was not getting paid for. He became violent and takes most of all the anger out on me or his bio sis to the point that we had to restrain him. He has destroyed the house -patches everywhere. When he first was taken he was in detention until they found a bed for him in a facilty then was taken to a stricter detention until he went where he is now. He has been gone from the family since Oct 26th 2008.He is in a behavioral hospital.
