venting

Can I vent a little? I hope you all understand for what it is, my chance to rant and rave. I have a fourteen year old son, and I am about ready to MURDER him. He has had problems in the past and had to go for treatment, and now the psychiatrist is messing with his meds and we have had more blowups in the past months since the med change than in the year prior. I have called the doctor weekly to tell him and he just ups the meds. we go Wed. and I WANT THEM CHANGED BACK. My son was in tears last night after he calmed down, because he doesn't want to get sent away again and "its just like it was before mom." Cory's "downfall" so to speak was when I had a hysterectomy 5 years ago, he stayed with friends, but it triggered something in him and he ended up having to be hospitalized, so I do worry about the WLS and how that will effect him, but he thinks it would be neat to have a mom that doesn't embarrass him (aren't kids tactful?) Anyway, I love my son, I hate the meds he is on and I won't leave the Dr.'s office until we get it back--I hope I can carry that out! Thanks for listening.

Oh hun, I feel so bad for you. I went threw the same things with my daughter, they had her on so many different meds it was unreal but ya know what, one day my daughter came up to me and said "mom I hate how I feel, can I just stop taking all these meds." I said sure what ever you want and she did and it was the very best thing she could have done, oh yeah, she had her moments but for the most part she was a totally different young lady, one I had never seen and I liked it. DO NOT let those shrinks tell you whats best for your son, YOU TELL THEM and in no uncertain terms. My daughter and I are so close that she freaks out if I'm in the tub or outside and she calls, she thinks I died. People tell me all the time I need to cut the cord with her but I guess I figure she loves me enough to worry about me and I love her the same. I see so many kids who hate their parents and they are really out of control kids and I thank god everyday that my child is so wonderful cause she sure had all the reasons to go bad but chose not to and I am proud of her for fighting that urge. Just don't let the fact that he's got problems be the reason he acts up, I believe with all my heart that these kids know what's right and wrong and I hate it when I see a kid manipulate a parent till they get things there way, so don't let him be your reason for not having this surgery you will only end up despising him for it. You have to take care of you first before you can deal with his issues, it makes it alot easier to deal when you first like you. Keep your head held high, everything will be ok. I will be thinking about you. Keep in touch. Take care of you.~~Tina
