[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 35837, member: 3419"] Nancy, glad you like Dr. Riley! I couldn't go to someone who didn't have a sense of humor. Perspective is everything. Thinking back on it, I should have waited for the baseball reminder, but it's too late now. He's got very poor coping skills and I should have planned it out better, if indeed there was a feasible plan. At least, planned it so that I wasn't in the middle of traffic! There's still something very wrong with-a kid who goes over the edge like that. Anger, yes. Destructiveness, no. We're at the point where we're considering bipolar but not quite there yet. The adderall works so well that I'm hesitant to try anything else. Also, we're having him tested for Asperger's this coming wk and I want to know what the neurologist says, first. easy child and difficult child get along well most of the time, amazingly enough. I owe that to PCs incredible maturity and resilience. difficult child adores her and follows her around. I am SO lucky she is the oldest! They were sitting downstairs last night, talking about easy child's babysitting experience (she had just walked in the door, and the girls she sat for were spoiled and manipulative... when the parents came home, they did an about-face, hung all over easy child and told her how wonderful she was and begged their parents to have her back. Gag). She tells very good stories. difficult child was rapt. They DO fight. BigTime. easy child was just reminding me the other day that she hasn't had anyone overnight for almost a yr because difficult child is so unpredictable and obnoxious. Sigh. In re: to how did I find out we could do tours... I don't know. It feels like I've always known. Maybe I read about the Scared Straight program in the paper. Even though they don't have it any more, they will make exceptions (as I learned, through a few well-placed, nice begging phonecalls) PS Does anyone else have to post, and then edit to put in smiley faces? I can't do any of that the 1st time around, and noticed that my posts are some of the only ones that always say I've edited them. [/QUOTE]
