[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 297885, member: 3419"] Hi Texasbamafan, welcome. been there done that with-my husband. He is a chiro and very anti-drug. I had to threaten to leave him b4 he would try medications for difficult child. After that, things got better, then worse, until difficult child ended up in the psychiatric ward. After that, no question, difficult child would be on medications, probably forever. The positive changes in his behavior are Soooooo worth it! I can't recommend that you threaten to leave, with-or with-o your difficult child, just that it worked for me, because our lives had devolved to that point. Something had to be done. Period. Your husband needs educating. I would suggest an appointment with-a pschiatrist who can show husband pics or PET scans on medications, and ADHD PET scans, etc. so show him that there is a huge physical manifestation and that it isn't just a behavior issue. Until your difficult child gets stabilized, if he's like our son, behavior therapies will only partially work because he won't be able to absorb the information. Best of luck! [/QUOTE]
