[QUOTE="givingmybest, post: 486097, member: 13325"] Yes, it's Dysthymia - always get that one wrong! Although I think it might be bigger than that now. We are off today to talk to someone about everything that has been going on. He is under the impression that we are going to his doctor to talk about his medications but I have other plans. If he knew he wouldn't go so I had to lie. He may even attempt to flee when he sees where we are going. We did put him into a crisis anger management program but it was only 5 days so I don't really think he got that much out of it - it was over the summer. He will tell you that he enjoyed the break from home though. The problem with the shorter programs and the counselling is that he tells them what he knows they want to hear. He plays the game and puts on such a great performance. I had the CRT here one night for some help and he was making all the right comments. As soon as she left he told me that was useless and that I can forget him doing anything she suggested. He had some really good friends - good kids - but he seems to have left them in the dust for this new group who I can't say much good about. I actually had an email from one of his previous friends a few months ago about how she was worried about him and told me some of the stuff he had told her. When confronted he got angry and said it was none of his business and that I need to stay out of his life. Really? He's 14. ARGH! My youngest also suffers anxiety so this has been hard on him. I know he means it when he says he doesn't want his brother here but it hurts me. I know I have to get over that as I need to deal with these issues of the oldest to take care of the rest of us. He seems to rule this house - anyone else been there? I guess the battle goes on. Thanks everyone for your comments. It really does mean a lot to see what you are dealing with and to know that I'm not alone. Seems lately if I mention anything about my son to people...well, I'm sure you have all dealt with that - people that just don't get it. [/QUOTE]
