Monday, July 21, 2008 | A General Update story

I wish I a better report to give, Kevin came home, "acting" mature, but truthfully, I see him using some self control, but he is really just gettting angry over petty things, and still lashing out. I know he is trying, but why must he try to be so annoying? Maybe he doesn't try, maybe its just natural assanine behavior, but the other boys are not helping, so step 1 is to get him some more doctor appointments, and Im looking into some day camp programs to help with his social skills that....ahem...are rude! He has pushed more buttons to the people in the house in the last few days then the elevator dude at some fancy hotel. ....In addition the hormones are raging from jeff causing extra drama....Last night I had to go buy a vacum, (mine DIED) and I took my time, Ashley and I didnt get home until after 10 and Matt thought that possible we ran away from home, not a bad idea....LOL....These boys really are driving me batty, they are making me cry often, too often. It was so fun and precious when they were younger, who are these alien children and what did they do with my children????

 

Ashley of course keeps me going,  she is always helpful, always pretty NORMAL, .....if Ben wasn't difficult too, I think Matt might have run away from home already, but he would never ever do that , he is just not that kinda guy....

 

I had no idea how hard it was to put my kid in the hospital and I tried so hard to keep it real and not get my hopes up, I did, and him just being the same old psychotic kid is enough for me to just want to run away. I can't I won't but I need to get some helpful resources, maybe that pop up that keeps popping up here on daily strength will actually help.

 

I found out from the bank, that they are probaby going to sue us for the difference between the sales price and what they get from us,  but there is a process called surrendering your home which may be a better option than everything else... I just finished cleaning the 3200 sf house for the new owner, be it it passes inspection on Thursday.  It looks and smells really nice.

    I was really afraid everything with Kevin sounded way to quick and easy to be real. the thing is you just don't cure nearly a life time of problems in a few days even if "miracle" drugs are involved, which it didn't sound like from your posts.
    Of course his age is having a lot to do wiht everything but I'm pretty sure that some of his behavior is probably inherited from his dad.
    There has been debate for decades over how much of a childs behavior comes from genes and how much from how he is raised but more and more over the last few decades they are coming to realize that some things that we used to think were strictly from how they were raised are in fact inherited and anger is one of them.
    Of course anger is a normal human emotion and not even bad all by it'self, it's how we react to our anger, how we use it and if we can control it that bring it into question and it seems some people inherite a tendency to have greater problems wiht anger, for it to be more intense and for them to have less control over their reactions. It might help you to do some research in this area and see also if there are any recommendations beyong the generic anger management stuff.

    Georgia-
    I can always count on you for the reality check. I got so upset tonight, this is really beyond anger management, its
    probably more the skitsoprenic or personality disorder what Im starting to believe. Honestly, they sent home a child who isn't rambling as much BUT I don't care much for the change I see. I have an appointment for him thursday with the psychologist, and friday with the psychiatrist, and another with the psychologist on Monday for BOTh twins. I am emotionally spent.

    i think the day camp might be a good idea , it might help him to interact with other kids . you are a really good mother and you are trying to do the best you can and thats all you can do . i have to tell you to enjoy every moment with your daughter, someday she will be one of your closest friends you will ever have and you will remember when she was young and you will wish she was still little . my daughter and i are so close we are best friends, i just felt like i needed to tell you that . xoxoxoxoxoxx love you
