I feel like ahuge weight has been lifted since finding this forum. I am married to awonderful man and we are raising our 7 children together. I have 3 from aprevious marriage and he has 4. We both have sole custody with no involvement ofthe other biological parents. The oldest2 are adults so we have 5 at home. We have 4 easy childs and 1 difficult child. I am very patientand have done everything in my power to be a good mother to him and give himthe love and attention that he never got from his biological mother. We havegotten him therapy, medications, you name it, weve tried it. But at this point, Ifeel like a failure and dont know what to do anymore. He is 15 and franklyscares me now. He is doing drugs, failing school, is a pathological liar,steals from us, hits his siblings, has abused the animals, has threatened tokill each of us, masturbates openly in front of his 10 year old sister, haspicked locks and walks in on her friends while they are changing, held a screwdriver to his little brothers throat
the list goes on. I love him and he canbe very charming at times but then its like a switch goes off and he goes intoa violent rage and there is no stopping a 62 boy. He has been diagnosed withadhd and odd. I am at the point where I am afraid to be home alone with himwithout my husband there and just need some advice. Boarding school? I know itsexpensive but if it means my sanity and the other kids safety, Ill tryanything. I feel like a horrible mother by thinking my child is a sociopath butwhen he looks at me and tells me hes going to slit my throat while I sleep,what am I supposed to think? I just dont know what to do anymore
