Guest guest Posted August 24, 2001 Report Share Posted August 24, 2001 I remember a time when nothing I did or said worked with my son. No punishment meant anything to him, not my tears, nothing! He threw things, hit, screamed, ran away, hid for hours. He told me during this bleak period that he wished he wasn't alive. I didn't know where to turn, what to do. For us, putting him on supplements turned our lives around. He still over reacts sometimes, throws things, hits. But it is not the hell it was. Now I can tell him to quit, and he does. Now he is happy more than unhappy. He is still not accepted by his peers, he still has social issues. But he is not out-of-control. My heart still breaks for him when I see how badly he wants to fit in. But I am no longer angry with him, nor terrified that he might hurt himself, or others. There is some kind of answer out there for you. Try the supplements. Lolita >His other classmates were so well behaved, and here he was screaming and >crying, ranting and raving.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2001 Report Share Posted August 25, 2001 Yes, mine is 11yo. And I know exactly what you mean. I've made him more involved in this whole thing by reading or letting him read some of the problems others are having, on this, and other lists. I ask him how he would advice them, what kind of thing might help other kids like him. I think it helps him to accept his own problems by recognizing the problems of others. We've also discussed this " miracle " he's been through, the difference between then and now.
