I have been thinking about this for some time. Summer vacation is almost here, and I am contemplating removing difficult child from medications to see what happens. He has been on medications of some type for over the last 2-3 years. He has been doing quite well since Christmas.
Now, the other side of me wants to know what I am thinking. It took us years to get where we are, what makes me think we should stop!! The reason he is doing so well is because he is medicated. It took so long to get where we are now, why take the chance that it will take that long again?
Right now I am very confused. I will not act while I am unsure of myself, but sometimes I wonder. I am sure some of you have been there done that, what was the outcome? Was it a mistake, or a positive? I realize that this is a huge thing, and want to do the right thing. I also want to have a good summer, as this is the first summer in 2 years that I am not enrolled in college. I have 3-4 camping trips planned, and a trip to the beach. That maybe hard to do with difficult child unmedicated. I am just torn.
