[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We have a full time nanny but she only works 9-5:30, Monday-Friday while DH and I are working.

We have respite care for 11 hours per week but they only show up about half of the time.

I know it seems like it should be enough and we have more support than other people but I don’t know what to say. We just can’t handle him.[/quote]

First I am sorry. Second, since you are here asking for advice I’m going to be 100% on a space of my experience: you need to table divorce, separation etc for now. Sorry, but the only thing you and your husband should focus on is your kids. The NT child should probably be having some therapy if the SN child is taking up all of your available resources.

And you need to be looking at all of the treatment options and harnessing all of the resources and spending all of the dollars frankly. Get a psychiatrist if you don’t have one.

When our son was seven he had violent outbursts at school (I’m not comparing but it was bad) and we did DBT, CBT, OT, social skills, and group therapy. He was diagnosed with adhd and anxiety. We got him medicated. I went down to part-time and he eventually went to private school. It was significantly better within six months and he was a different kid within a year. He’s 14 now and thriving. [/quote]

And once child is stable then figure out separation or divorce and related logistics [/quote]
