[QUOTE="carlard, post: 180419, member: 5673"] Today my mother called difficult child before I went to visit. I brought baby, husband, and bro-in-law (we all live together, fun!), and a Simpson's Clue game to give us an anchor. difficult child was in lighter spirits than night before, but still slightly less warm than usual. Visit went well, played the game, chatted for a few minutes about roomate and activities. I let him know I would not be able to visit every day this coming week, but that I would call daily. He didn't seem too concerned. Two hours after we had left, I get the call. I knew who it was before I answered. difficult child had to be held for 8 minutes for throwing chairs and hitting people in the kitchen. *sigh* Thank you. He rarely EVER got violent before. Now it's a daily occurrence? Is there any small chance that having him here may be making it all worse?? Therapist says psychiatric-evaluations such as neurological testing is low on priority list, that evaluations SD did seemed thorough enough. I mentioned MD's and haven;t gotten a response besides "that's basically what we are doing". I'm not worried today, for a change. Instead I'm curious. Is his behavior becoming "institutionalized"? Is that why it seems to be escalating? Is he angry that I have him there? (even though were he angry, he "normally" would tell me so, emphatically), [I]could[/I] it be an adderall with-d? Just lots of questions, none of prime importance. I suppose it's just my brain trying to keep working, afraid what will happen if I stop moving. [COLOR=Purple]Quote of the day[/COLOR] - "it [B]WILL[/B] get worse, it [I]Always[/I] gets worse" ~ [U]My optimistic mother [/U][COLOR=Purple]Highlight of the day[/COLOR]- I haven't had to cook in 3 days!
