[QUOTE="Star*, post: 95314, member: 4964"] Prayerful, There is so much support and information here at this site that you can take advantage of. My fist *ut oh* is age 11 and on Zoloft. A lot of the acting out he is currently doing could be due to that particular drug. Some people have good success with it. With my son (now 17) and myself it made us have suicidal thoughts. Not "planning" on my part but yes on difficult child's part. Twice. And you can't just take him off of it - they have to wean off. Check with your doctor. As far as him acting out in school. Weeping Willow is right. If he's ED (emotionally disturbed) you should be able (BEFORE) he goes back to school to get a meeting together for an IEP (Individual Education Plan). If you have that in place and they kicked him out anyway - you need to see the district psychologist and explain what is going on. You need a plan. Write back and let us know what you do and don't have for your son. I understand about being worn out, tired, not appreciated. You can get there pretty quickly when you live with a child who is a difficult child. HOWEVER - there is hope. When you prayed for patience - God didn't necessarily just go "BOOM" here's your patience. Nope he gave you situations to LEARN how to be patient. When you pray for strength, he doesn't just make you strong - he gives you situations (no car, kid kicked out of school) that make you stronger. At this point I think I am almost bullet proof. I don't see where you list going to a counselor or family counselor. If you would be open to doing that it will teach you HOW to deal with your child, HOW to ignore your child, HOW to keep yourself from going crazy - and a lot of programs are on a sliding scale fee. Most are on the bus routes. Counseling is far and above the best thing we ever did for ALL of us. But we'll start slow here and guide you if you want help. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
