Quick Update

We've put him back on the meds to due out-of-control behavior. If he had continued this way, there would have been problems in school and I would have ended up in the hospital minus a head because it would have blown up, LOL. My head, that is. *sigh* Lord, please give me the strength and patience I need to make it through this...

I Need A Vaycay

Well, we've taken Mouth completely off the Risperdal due to his massive weight gain. Now, I don't know how I am going to survive life at home with his behavior. If he was difficult and argumentative before, now he is (no exaggeration) ten times worse. I can't ask him to go to the bathroom before we leave the house without a massive meltdown on both our parts. He constantly tells me no. He constantly defies me and does things to antagonize his brother and myself. I truly feel like all I do is yell and it is getting to be embarrassing to me because I start yelling before I even realize it. And I feel bad for Mouth, because I don't think he likes his behavior anymore than I do. He throws tantrums in stores again and gets louder and louder the more I shush him. I just feel like crying all the time and I am so exhausted. The constant screaming at me wears on me to the point where I want to just give in so he will stop and leave me alone.

I am so tired.

Please pass me the bowl of Xanax.
