[QUOTE="Preemie Mommie, post: 41155, member: 3717"] We have had her to a neuro who proclaimed that she is perfectly fine for a former 26 weeker but I'm not convinced. I suspect it could be some of the reason behind her current issues but can't say with certainty. The brain bleed is still considered head trauma and can cause damage that no one knows about until later. We did request an MRI but were turned down flat. I am an american(from Ohio)but I am living in Canada. I met my husband online almost 7 years ago and he is Canadian. I have heard stabilizers can be used for aggresiveness with the added side effect of helping them sleep. Both of which are big issues for her. I often question her early history and how much it has to do with things because when I look at my older kids(#3's half bros)and all of the issues they have and my family, which is riddled with depression(I do not know of a single family member that isn't taking antidepressant medications), plus husband's mental history and my mother in law has Bipolar. Was the poor kid doomed from the start? She truly got a triple whammy. To give a little more insight: My oldest difficult child was expelled from school last school year for hitting a teacher. This was after he was put in a class for kids with emotional problems. Things continued to escalate an my mom finally had to get the police involved and put him in a Residential Treatment Facility (RTF). His issues were manageable until he hit puberty and then it went bad in a hurry. Mr difficult child#2 is gifted and talented and as long as he stays on his medications does fairly well and functions almost like a easy child. He tried to kill himself at age 6 and got the bipolar diagnosis after that. He was diagnosis ADHD/ODD at age 3. I gave custody of the boys to my mom because I simply could not handle them and my mom could. I hate everyday that it came to that but it ended up being the best for the boys and for myself. I could never imagine 3 difficult child's under one roof. I have the utmost respect for those of you that are dealing with more than one difficult child on a daily basis. Both boys are on SSI and have been for a long long time. Chances of my oldest ever living independently is doubtful. Thanks for the welcome. [/QUOTE]
