This weekend while Sean was at his mother's house she was babysitting her friend's son. He is 4. Sean got angry with him and punched him in the stomach and twisted his foot. Last night his foot became very swollen and his mom had to take him to the ER. He has a severe sprain. I am very concerned about this to say the least. I think it is a pretty serious thing to injure a child to the point where they have to be taken to the hospital. The fact that this child is 5 years younger than Sean is upsetting too. After I discussed with him how serious this is and how much younger this boy is than him and you shouldnt hit younger kids he said "Can I have a lollipop?" Like he didnt even get what I just said-or just didn't care. I dont know what to do anymore. I am just out of thoughts. I am calling his counselor tomorrow because I just dont know who else to talk to. What would you do?

To be honest, the first thing that popped into my head was "run away".  My second thought doesn't bear repeating. I don't know how you live with it day in and day out. It just seems like more than bipolar to me. I don't remember my cousins being mean like that. They had hot tempers but they still were capable of compassion. I'd be asking some very pointed questions as to whether it could be more than bipolar and if not, exactly why. |

Holy Cow, KK...I don't know else you can do but grab his doctor by the shoulders and shake the crap out of him. This is serious. Him not having a conscious about his behavior bothers me a bit.
I meant to ask you awhile ago, but have they made any medication changes with Sean at all? I don't remember you saying things have changed, but gosh, they should be trying to different meds if things are not going in a positive direction.
I agree with Barb. Something else is really going on here. You have said that all along. My heart goes out to you.

I agree that it is more than bipolar. The word sociopath springs to mind.
His psychiatrist is no help. He writes out a scipt and says see you in 2 months. I am going to ask his counselor what she suggests-if there are any suggestions left.

KK...I'm so sorry. Wish I could suggest something that would help.

Is there anyone who could give you a referral to another psychiatrist?
I wonder if that Dr who was at the first meeting in NYC would be able to help. She really struck me as someone who cares and she must know something about other things besides ADHD. If she didn't she wouldn't be as good at diagnosing and treatment as she is.

Yeah, I agree with Barb...you need to get a different Dr. I think something has to be done soon before Sean is beyond help. I don't know how you deal with it day in & day out without going nuts either.

So I talked to the school counselor today and she is concerned. She says he needs to be "stabilized." First thing Im going to do is call the psych and ask to have bloodwork done so we can see if his meds are at a theraputic level, maybe he needs a higher dosage. Im also looking for a new psych instead of going to one person for the meds and then therapy at another. I cant lose this one just yet as I know how long it took me to even find him. So I will hold on to him until I can find another. One who is more than just a prescription writer. Wish me luck!

I don't even know what to say. I'm just doubling my prayer efforts.
