[QUOTE="tmay, post: 188586, member: 5767"] Well, last night was another bad night. It seems like once a week he has to have one of his fits. Just after I finished typing on here yesterday I started making dinner and he was suppose to be home but he came home late and was not where he said he was going to be. He just ran in the door and said, "Sorry" and ran off towards his room. I stopped him and said since he didn't come home on time he needed to stay in for the rest of the night and no friends could come over. (This was the same for his brother who was also late coming home but he just pouted for a few minutes and went to do his homework) He yelled that he tried to be home on time then he stormed off to his room and began to destroy it. My husband who had just come home from work a couple minutes before this gave him a couple of minutes then went in and told him if he wanted to hit things he needed to go out to the punching bag. We bought this at our therapist recommendation for this very reason. He started screaming and yelling at my husband and ended up with my husband having to restain him to keep him from running out of the house and to keep my son from hitting and kicking him. I called my pastor and his wife who used to be an in home therapist and they came over and eventually got him calmed down. She said she is worried that something is going to happen on accident because he is so violent and it is going to end up coming back on us. If my younger son is taken away from me I will lose it. He has already told the hopsital how I "hurt" him and he called 911 last week. If he continues I would think they would be forced to start investigating. She said she didn't want to override what my son's therapist is doing but she thought we needed to decide what we are willing for our family to live with. I am willing to give the new medication a try but we need to know what to do until it starts working and I feel like we have not gotten alot of help thus far from the therapist and psychiatrist. My son goes in with a halo over his head and I feel like they have no idea the extent of what we go through when he does this. Like maybe the are not taking us that seriously.
