[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 415714, member: 1631"] vmc, Welcome to our corner of the world. I'm sorry things are so difficult. I'm sure you are not the worst parent ever (for sure not according to my kids, I hold that title-lol). I know how frustrating it can be going through the medication roller coaster and not feeling as though anything is helping. My 13 year old difficult child has bipolar and we have also tried many medications. He is currently on a mix of medications that is helping, of course, he is still a difficult child. We often tend to ask a lot of questions for those new to our site so we can be of more help. *Who diagnosed your son? *Has he ever had a neuropsychologist evaluation? These evaluations can give us some good insight into our kiddos. *How is he doing at school? It's not unusual for our difficult children to do well in one environment and not in another. (Of course, my difficult child struggles in most environments.) One book that we recommend reading is [I]The Explosive Child[/I] by Ross Greene. It offers some great ideas when dealing with kids like ours. Another thing that is super important is finding time to take care of yourself which I know is easier said than done. We're better able to take care of our kiddos when we are feeling better. That looks different for a lot of us. For me exercising and reading are ways to take care of me. Again, welcome, you have found a very soft, supportive place to land. When you have time, create a signature that tells about you and your family (sort of like mine on the below this). Hugs! [/QUOTE]
