[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 403510, member: 6705"] OK... I want to say first of all... Hugs. I do understand. Many of us here have had to deal with violent kids, spouses that were oblivious, and a system that seemed to refuse to help. I noticed at the very end that you said that the MPs can only do so much. While that is true - to a point - will they not help with a domestic violence call? because this is exactly what is happening. I'm in a "what do I do?" situation, too, and more people will be here with advice. A couple of things that I've learned in the last 2 years... One, yes, you do have to take care of you and your other children. in my opinion? Take him to tae kwon do - but explain to the (sensei? I don't know what they're called) that he won't be participating, and why. Leaving him at home alone is a reward, in a way, for misbehavior. But if he does enjoy it - then he can watch others. It won't be fun for him. Natural consequence, is what it's called. Your husband can talk to him, but you know him best. Is he seeing a therapist [I]regularly[/I]? Just having a psychiatrist to write scrips isn't enough. If the juvenile justice system is involved, then they do have services they can help you and your son with. They won't necessarily take the other kids. Yes, it's a possibility, but not a likelihood - not with your documentation, and his history. I would call and pester the county for help. Be honest with them - but be nice to them! Again, more hugs, and more people will be along soon. [/QUOTE]
