[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 131165, member: 2287"] Good morning! You've come to the right place! My difficult child is also 12, been on medications and in therapy since age 4. I've decided I don't care what they call it, just help me fix it the best that I can so all of us suffer as little as possible. A few, very few, behavior modifications have helped in the past and he's still in therapy, but I can't really say that any of the therapy or behavior mods have helped us much. I think the best it did was help me keep the faith that there IS something wrong with him and I'm not going nutz. Now at age 12, things have been changing and I'm sure it has to to with hormones. I can't really say he's mouthy-er than before (that's impossible), but I think I'm at a point where I'm tolerating it less. I'm ssssooooooo tired of putting up with all the games.........tho I'm not sure it IS games. Like your child, no consequences have ever worked anymore than for the immediate issue at hand. Now that he's almost as big as I am, I want so badly to treat him more like an adult, but I just can't. It's so hard for me to look at him and expect him to ACT like a 12 year old and he just plain can't do it. As you will note below, difficult child is on many medications and they truly do help...some. There are days I don't think I can live with him anymore. Then there are days that I don't know what I'd do if he weren't here every day. I'm sorry you are hurting enough that you had to find us, but this is honestly a wonderful bunch of people. We support each other day in and day out. We listen, we share our problems, give our points of vew, and encourage each other to make it through another day. Glad you're here...and as you have read, you are not alone. :crazy: Pam [/QUOTE]
