[QUOTE="C.J., post: 67183, member: 1987"] First of all...welcome to a very supportive group of people who do know what you're going through. It would help if you completed a signature -- to let us know ages, diagnosis, medications, etc. so that we can offer suggestions that would be helpful. You mentioned therapy...is it individual therapy for your son, or family therapy for all of you? If your younger children are acting out, you may need some guidance in helping them learn to interact with their older brother. I cannot tell you how many times I heard my mother tell me that it wasn't what I said to my difficult child....but it was my "tone", and remember, she's had a tough start in life... At my wit's end one day, I asked my mom if she thought her dad was a fair and good man. She said yes. I asked her if she thought for ONE MINUTE he'd allow any kid -- even a kid with a tough start in life, to run his household. She had to say no. I told her my kid wasn't running my household either. You'll need some help, and a united front. I hope your husband is supportive of you in this area. It is a tough road, but not so lonely with us to help you though the bad days. Sending a hug your way. [/QUOTE]
