Had a horrible day today. Mike had a horrible tantrum at the music therapy screening and it was so bad I had to restrain him. I haven't had to do that in over 1 1/2 years. It feels like we are right back where we started from. That all the work is just poof gone.
It was so bad that I had to restrain him for 20 minutes and finally he said he wouldn't hit anymore and I took him to the car. I tried to talk to the lady for 2 minutes and he started kicking thier glass door so we left. Then he picked up a big (at least 6in diameter) rock from the landscaping and threw it at me. I was far enough away to get out of the way. BUT GEEZ! COMMON!
I am SOOOOOO mad at him still. I took him back to school. After school he said he was sorry and I couldn't forgive him yet. Never have had that. I told him I was angry still and we would talk later. Tonight I told him I felt like he hated me and wanted to be somewhere else. That I never EVER threw a rock at my parents. That I know of NOT A SINGLE CHILD who throws big rocks at thier parents and if he does anything like today again I will put him in the hospital and have them give him medicine to help him behave.
Needless to say he is banished from electronics until further notice. AT least the weekend, probably a week. NO trips out nothing. They were supposed to go to their grandparents tonight so DH and I could go to dinner. NOPE. GROUNDED.

I thought we were done with this! I called the psychiatrist whose name I have had for a while to get him in. Of course she isn't taking new patients so I had to beg on her voice mail. Of course she is on vaca until Tuesday. She takes a natural as well as medical approach so I want her, not another shrink. I emailed our psychologist in case he does this again I want someone who can referr for hospitalization. Hope she can.

Dear Renee,
Adding my best wishes to everyone else's post. Poor you for sure, and poor Mike as well, as I know losing control like that is even more frightening to him. Lighting you both a candle,
Sara
Hugs, Renee. We've been seeing some regression/changes too and it really stinks and gets you down. Must be the impending end of school year for us....
If it makes you feel any better, I hit my mother with a hanger once in a rage, and I also threw the biggest dictionary I could find at her. Another time, I slammed my sister over the head with a brick. OMG - can't believe I just told someone outside the family about that! Well, I settled down (mostly) and ended up OK - so - I'm hoping you remember that bad days and terrible behavior do not always lead to the worst. That's what I always have trouble remembering, and I need to remind myself of it often.
Hope summer brings some presure relief.

I hope things get better for you and your family. I know how stressful it can be. We have yet to hospitalize Joiner. Most times the "episodes" pass, and
(((hugs))) renee......totally bummer about your dinner date. That just plain sucks big time. Sigh.....we have been there. Sam threw a rock at me in the car. I wasn't driving, but it hit me pretty good in the back of the head and I have never felt my feelings so hurt so badly.
Please let us know if you get in with this Dr. and how it goes!
