[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hugs, OP. I wanted to flag something you've said a couple of times: "before I give up." What are you thinking of doing, OP? What does giving up mean? You don't have that option, really. You are his mom, and you don't get to give up on yourself or him. You can give up on strategies that aren't working, of course, and I am hoping that is all you meant.[/quote]

I'm not contemplating suicide. My life is painfully difficult but I need to stay alive and healthy for my children. But I was thinking of stopping my search for help, stopping therapies, visits to psychiatrists, and just accepting the way he is. [/quote]

You are just asking for a break!  I give you permission to not think of a new "intervention" for one whole week.  Enjoy him and the other kids for a week, have a mantra "this is not forever" and take a breather.  Than after an entire week start making the appointments.  He is a difficult child and you have been an awesome mother.  Look at all you have done!!  He would not be where he is today without your help.  He could have been much worse off.  And who knows, the full neurospych evaluation could be the thing that turns this all around, with a plan.  A lot of people have children like yours, and they just shrug their shoulders and do not deal. They are exhausted/frustrated.  So you have been definitely trying, and of course things are probably pretty hard now that it is summer.  Hang in there, give yourself a break, and then mull over all these posts and make some phone calls.  All the best....[/quote]
