I have a 4.5 yr old son who is intense and has been hell to deal with since birth. He witholds his stools STILL, is on stool softeners, and now exhibiting signs of Conduct Disorder, talking back to me/teachers, hitting, being bossy to other children. Also have a 22 month old daughter who is a joy, but have to watch him like a hawk around her because he is rarely nice. I used to have a respected career, now I'm a lowly stay-at-home who's never worked so hard!! Mom says I'm not cut out for having kids (thanks MOM!). We just moved to the boonies - all we could afford; doctors said I'm a saint for trying so hard to help him. No success getting an appt with neurologist. Nurse prescribed Anti-depressants; made him completely out-of-control; meds are out of question. I am COMPLETELY exhausted and have all kinds of physical problems. I take meds for deprssion, ADD, you name it. I feel isolated and don't have patience anymore to deal with him. I've tried everything under the sun!
