[QUOTE="SlipperySlope, post: 413480, member: 11389"] Hi, everyone. Nearing rock bottom dealing with the behaviours of my difficult child. Was directed to this site after difficult child's stepmother found it and had an "AHA" moment. She and I have been reading passages to each other over the phone and e-mailing threads back and forth as we come to realize we are not as alone as we'd thought! *C* is 11. We are old hat to therapy (PT/Occupational Therapist (OT)/Speech) for the developmental delays, but, honestly thought we had a handle on keeping the guy on a good path. Suddenly, about 6 months ago, it all started unraveling. He's become this person we don't know. Lying, stealing, running away, aggression. It feels like he's dismantling the family. Since the run-away attempt, we are working with a therapist weekly, have a mentor at school, and have a psychiatrist working on finding a medication that will help with his ADHD and anxiety/mood. However, it's a very slow progress. Frankly, it's wearing me out. I keep reading your stories and am so thankful to know it's not just us. (Not that I'd wish this on any parent!) Thank you all for being so open and caring and understanding!! ~R [/QUOTE]
