[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 245989, member: 1233"] I completely understand wanting to give up and then wondering who would be in "his corner". been there done that and it is a bad position to be in. He is 10. Is it possible for him to be admitted to a hospital to become stabilized on medications and correctly diagnosed? If he is hurting others and you, and threatening you or his siblings, then he is a danger to himself and others. Next time he is having a fit take him to a psychiatric hospital or call an ambulance to transport him if it is not safe for you to take him. Once he is there they can evaluate him and do some testing (you will have to push for this) and then they can work to find the correct medication. I am so familiar with the feeling of not being able to leave a child in the next room with siblings. My oldest hurt his sister very badly any and every time they were in a room with-o adult supervision from the time he was very young until he was a teen. You may have to look into a residential treatment facility (Residential Treatment Facility (RTF) or Residential Treatment Center (RTC)) for him to get long term help in changing things. This would help him learn to be safe with his siblings, but it is very expensive and you should try having a complete evaluation done first. I am sorry you and the other kids are being hurt by his actions and words. [/QUOTE]
