[QUOTE="keista, post: 433845, member: 11965"] Hi, glad you posted. While every thing you/he have tried so far is great for first steps, they do involve lots of time and effort on both your and his part. If it doesn't seem to help, I can understand why he'd be less than enthused to try something else, but have you tried explaining that if you do find the right medicine for him, all that other work he's done in the past, and may continue in the future might make more sense and become easier? Like Seriously mentioned, if he has/shows remorse, he might be more receptive to the idea, but if he doesn't then it's more than time for you to get really tough with him. It's very interesting that the anger gets pointed at you and your husband, even when clearly someone else's fault. What happens when you aren't around? Where does it get directed then? It makes sense that he would do this since you are SAFE, you are not going anywhere, and that's the way it's supposed to be. We all lash out more to the ppl we are closest to and feel most secure with. Gotta get him to a psychiatrist for any medication recommendation. What works for one child may be poison for another. You and psychiatrist need to decide what to try and monitor if it's working or not. I think dangling the next sports sign up as a reward for going to psychiatrist is a great idea. He's not a little kid anymore and more than ever needs to learn to monitor himself and accept responsibility for his actions. The younger this is done, the "easier" I think it can be. No, it will never be easy, but we can hope and pray and do our best to get our kids the help they need. [/QUOTE]
