I am at my witts end. My 10 yr old son is pushing me farther then I
am willing to go but I don't know what to do about it.
We took him off strattera a while back due to the fact he was crying
all the time and we were told he was hitting a depression and I am
not willing to have my child medicated for everything that comes
along. The crying has eased up a bit since we took him off the meds.
But now he is getting violent, he went after his 3 yr old brother
last night he was determined to hurt him. I am so worried about my
children I can't sleep at night. He absolutly refuses to do any
chores, homework , or anything else I would ask him to do. We are
constantly fighting and in the end both of us end up in our rooms
crying. I feel so helpless and hopless at this point, nobody in my
family understands they think I am just a bad parent to let my child
get so far out of control. My husband isn't much better even though
he has been to the doctors with us and understands better then anyone
else he works out of town and he is gone for 24 days at a time then
home for only 7. when he comes home he doesn't want to deal with it.
There have been times when the 2 of them were fighting I got in the
middle and just screamed to stop the fighting . I can't go against my
husband but I can't go against my son either he already thinks I
don't love him. I am trapped between a rock and a hard spot.
I am sorry I rambled on so long but I don't know where else to vent.
Well i guess it's back to the fighting I refuse to lose the war. It's
the least I can do for my son.
Thanks for your time.
