I think the last time I wrote on here my son was coming home from the hospital. He did and things were okay for about 3 days, then it started again, violence, he choked his little brother, so I was scared about that and started letting him sleep upsairs on the same level as me. Things just repeated themselves, so after tons and tons of thought, crying, anger, his bio dad and I and our spouses decided he should try and live in Indiana with his dad. He left 3 weeks ago now, I miss him terribly. He goes there for the summer, so the longest I've been away from him is 9 weeks total. I talk to him almost every night.
But he is doing well, with expeption of the first day there, it's been smooth. He's already seen a pdoc and therapist, his dad is spending alot of quality time with him, talking, and re-enforcing their relationship. School is doing good too I think. he's made some friends and says he likes it.
His new pdoc, stopped his Risperdal due to urinated the bed and he told us that it does the basic same stuff as the zoloft, he agreed w/ the hospital that he doens't has the adhd thing, but more anxiety and bipolar. So this is hard. I think that taking him off the meds and maybe starting fresh is a good idea.
Then last week my husband and I decided to seperate for now. Our relationship if falling apart We have the same arguement and complaints but each feel it's the other one doing it. So the stress is just horrible. I've began having panic attacks again, really bad. But he's moved out and it's a little easier. We are talking on the phone and I have seen him one time, which was pleasant.
I am on here to just ask for prayers that we make the right decisions for all the kids and ourselves! :)
You have made some really difficult decisions...all in the best interest of your children. My prayers are with you!!hi amyk0603. It sounds like you've made some really tough choices and you put your kids first, and I have to say well done for that. I wanted to tell you that I also get panic attacks and I totally understand where you're coming from there. I will say a prayer for you.Kudos to you for doing a very hard thing, but trying to do what is best for your son. I'm soo sorry that you going through such a hard time. I will say a prayer for you. Try to take care of yourself.
That's a difficult position to be in, taking care of children whose med history is completely new to you. I don't blame you at all to see what he is like with no meds. How else would you know? Good luck to you! This is a BIG ONE for youHang in there. The stress you are undergoing is just so enormous. You can't look after anyone if you don't take care of yourself.
