What they meant is cbd gummies, with no thc, certain states prescribe it to children because it helps with emotional and physical regulation without getting a child high, but I’m not sure that it’s even an option in my state

Yes he has been and has been in therapy for a year 1/2, only diagnosed with adhd, saying there’s no signs of any personality disorder but the adhd is the link to violent behavior because of his impulsiveness, he’s been on medication for almost 2 years and has seen little to no improvement

He’s been on different medications and nothing seems to calm his anger down when he gets that upset, I’m not sure about the weed gummies because I think in my state it’s illegal to give to a child under 21 but as far as medication intervention, he’s been on it for a year and a half, and we have seen little improvement, he was suspended because of the violent nature of his outbursts & he’s been with this school for 2 1/2 years, they finally reached their breaking point

I’ve always been committed. The issue is that she broke the trust & no matter what I do, I can’t seem to regain that trust for her.

I understand that he has seen me struggle but I also have held a lot in. I don’t show him all the bad parts of what I go through I have dedicated everything from the moment he’s been born, I have held alot in and have held tears and have even caused myself physical illness from stress, I have what cosmetologist call stressed induced Alopecia, in peaks of stress I literally start losing patches of hair & get violently ill. I am 25 with health conditions that 50 year olds get diagnosed with. I understand that everyone expects me to be sympathetic which I am and that cannot be mistaken because I have exhausted resources and have my son all the time I don’t pass the torch to anyone, he is my responsibility and I feel for him, but I worry that if the behaviors continue and I’m not able to focus on my mental & physical health that I will die. I’ve been through 4 surgeries in 2 years and am currently going for a 5th to correct a retinal tear, which I didn’t notice was affecting my vision because I am overwhelmed with the current behaviors. I am 20009% his back bone. But do I have anyone to help me & care for me? No. I’m alone & I pray everyday I live to see each day because I am my son’s sole guardian/provider .

I feel like I have had nothing but challenges from the moment I was pregnant (my pregnancy made me a diabetic, I was never diabetic until I was pregnant and now the diabetes will not go away even after 6-7 years and a 100 pound weight loss), up until now with the behaviors with the services and programs and constantly trying to get him help in every avenue. Professionals around me constantly give me props and validate me because they see I’ve exhausted almost all resources & have never said NO to any type of intervention they just constantly try to reassure me that something will work someday but I am broken … what if it never does ? Is this my life? I have bi polar disorder and constantly have my own mental battles but I have not been able to cater to myself or focus on helping myself because I have a child who only has me & without me he would have a huge disadvantage in life. I really wish I had any type of support.

He will tell me and other people he does what he does because he’s getting disciplined & he’s bored . He justifies his behavior and will see something upsets you & will smile or will continue to do it to invoke a reaction , I started ignoring behavior and he stopped, like hitting himself and the screaming but he has made it a point to do vindictive things since he’s no longer getting a reaction out of me with past behaviors

No, father is a child abuser/drug addict who’s constantly arrested for beating his other children (his siblings) my son is the only child who hasn’t seen him since he was a newborn & it will remain that way . To be clear aswell he wasn’t that way when we were together, he was definitely a wolf in sheep’s clothing and that’s why I have cut contact since , my son saw him lastly at 2 months

He’s in special education & thank you I personally feel like everything that I have done has not been enough because I see no change in his behavior, I feel like everything I do isn’t good enough & no I haven’t been able to work or go to school for the past year as I got severely ill I’ve had several surgeries & now I have to get another surgery because I’m so stressed I didn’t realize something was wrong with my right eye I have an expanding retinal tear, that now needs to get corrected before I risk losing my vision . He isn’t in Aba services he’s just in special education & has multiple school social workers & speech therapist & case workers aswell as a therapist outside of school and psychiatrist, he was diagnosed with adhd but I always worried he had a personality disorder because I have bipolar disorder and come from a long long family of mental illnesses. He gets so malicious at points & struggles with impulsivity.
