For anyone out there who can help...
My now ex-husband and I adopted our son 8 years ago - we took him home from the hospital. He has been raised in a home that has been good, but good isn't enough.
He was born with FASD, ODD, ADHD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) and Tourette's. He is very difficult and it is at best hard to try and do it alone. He has sabotaged any type of relationship, both intentionally and unintentionally. My personal fear is that I will have to do this alone for the rest of my life.
We have tried so many different medications, and now we just started Tenex along with his Straterra and Prozac. I don't know what to do. Counseling does not seem to help with him, he has no friends because he hurts people, family doesn't understand, and well my friends are few and far between because it seems I am always trying to put out a fire.
Any words of wisdom, advice, anything...would be appreciated.
