[QUOTE="flachic, post: 34598, member: 3636"] First, I want to thank you for your welcome & reply. I don't mind the questions & I will clarify anything. difficult child is in outpatient treatment with a MSW, every other week. Has had prior counseling. Never had medications. School has always been a challenge & I began homeschooling 4th grade...this is our 2nd year. Next year, I plan to send him to a 'Free School'. His issues in school have always been 'acting out', 'attention getting behaviors', and he was evaluated several times, most recently at the end of 3rd grade (2 yrs. ago almost exact). He was always diagnosed with anxiety & depression. I have no info on his biological dad. I have no info on my own, for that matter. I personally have had some issues (is it showing on my signature?), and my mother had issues with ptsd (undiagnosed), and alcoholism. I had attempted suicide once and was a 'cutter' before 'cutting' was an actual diagnosis, or symptom. difficult child was very (physically) aggressive on a daily basis 5 years ago. We've seen a decrease in that behavior, though we'd like to see the aggressiveness extinguished. The verbal aggression is new (within the past year). As for the ER, we didn't do that today. I am so afraid of him being misdiagnosed, put on medications that won't work, or having something taken way out of control that I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing at the right time. We've had problems in the past with the routes that have been taken. How do I know what I'm doing is right?? What should I absolutely avoid?? What should I trust in?? Thanks again....your input is appreciated greatly! [/QUOTE]
