[quote=Anonymous]Im sorry.  This sucks.  I had to call the police on my child who was 13.  He hit me twice.  The third time he was holding up my younger childs toy broom as though he was going to swing at me.  I doubted it would hurt too badly, but that wasn’t the point. I called the police. My younger child was watching the whole thing and I didn’t want her thinking this was OK.  The whole experience was awful.  They took him in (no handcuffs). Talked to him
And sent him home.  No real help for us.  I took him to the ER again when he got out of control.  Miserable experience.  They did a strip search FYI.  Saw some horrible things and left with NO help, no advice.

So frustrating.  Anyway, those to events to did lead to getting off one waitlist.  We got some therapy but most importantly some medication and that has made all the difference.

It is not perfect, but better.  I do keep things simple and sort of like the acne - we gave up braces because we always fought over taking care of them and eating wrong foods.  It doesn’t matter.
