I know it's been awhile but I am back.
Here is what has been going on:
difficult child is still living with Bio-mom.
In Nov. we had finally had enough and took him for an evaluation. at a local Behavioral Health Center...they said he was fine and just needed counseling...
In Dec. we deceided to switch his counseling center and he is seeing a therapist now.
His stealing has gotton out of control. His grades are poor, we had the local police come over and talk with him about stealing, it did not stop.
He is now stealing knives & screwdrivers.
We put a lock on easy child's room and he found out a way everytime to break in and steal from her.
All the Therapist said is that he has anger issues...husband went to a session 2 weeks ago and he sat there and said that he is angry. (Nothing specific was said)
Afterwards the therapist handed out the conners test again...bio-mom flipped out and started screaming about medicatiing him again and how he would become suicidal!!
Since then she has not scheduled another visit.
Last visit I was going through his room...(well 1/2 of it is his, the other half is storage) he once again went in our room and stole from us. I found the stuff hidden in one of my boxes.
The therapist has stated all along that we need to have him arrested, this time I called and had them come and get him.
We have decieded that he is no longer welcome here at this point. husband will go every two weeks and take him somewhere for a couple of hours.
I know that this is harsh but, the therapist has had no other suggestions for us on how to handle the issues at hand
We are at this point all out of options ( and books to read) and anything we suggest to Bio-mom...she fights us tooth and nail. He evens steals from her....
husband is so sad about all this
Thanks for listening....
