Hello everyone my name is cindy and I really need some advice.
I have a difficult child 14y son who has numerous diagnosis. Bipolar. anxiety, depression. PTSD, morbid obesity. I'm a single mom for 5 years and also have one daughter 15. When we left there dad he fell apart and was hospotalized which is when he was diagnosis at 8yo.
When he was in sixth grade he started school advoidance and we got into the court system. They made him ward of the state in my home. I got through that after a year and a half. Now we face this again. I was afraid they would take him away so I sent him to his dads in another county 200 miles away. Now the court will drop the truncy. The problem is dad he is not a good stable father nor good provider. My son doesnt want to be there because his dad has been abusive to me in the past and he remembers that stuff. He is also very hard on my son as he doesnt believe he is bipolar and does not give him his medications. He hates stepmom cause shes the reason we broke up. So he resents her. Its so long and so complicated. Did I do the right thing by sending him there do you think out of fear the state would take him or I'm foolish and he will just get worse??? I'm so confused. scared. sad and my heart just breaks for my son. I have no contril over him here I lost that long ago. If he doesnt get what he wants he rages and destroys everything and anything. He hit my laptop and broke that after just 5 months. Any advive would be gratefully appericiated. I just feel very lost and guilty.
