[QUOTE="Coffee Lover, post: 710176, member: 21380"] I really don't have anything to add that's of real help...other than, I would be lying to say that looking into boarding schools hasn't crossed my mind. It gets to be taxing on a family when one person is SO off the rails. Even the kindest hearts full of grace can start to feel completely overwhelmed. And other kids? I can't imagine how my daughter feels towards us or her brother sometimes when we have to focus solely on him and ask her to please hang out and let us work him through something. It's hard. I also sometimes think, there has to be someone who deal with kids like this day in and day out. Someone who has seen it all. Twice. Someone who is an expert on these kinds of kids and knows some sort of formula, plan, or "trick" that I don't know that can get this turned around. Honestly, I think you're a great mother for seeing what is happening (putting on blinders helps no one), for protecting your whole family while helping your child, and for being willing to make some possibly hard choices for the better of your son. That's hard, not for the faint of heart, and you're doing it. You're a great mom! [/QUOTE]
