I haven't talked much about Zachary in a while. Things seemed to be going ok, but things aren't always as they seem. He has been having a rough time in school. His school year started off great and after the new year things have taken a turn for the worse. I tried to pass it off as puberty although I don't know if that is entirely the case. One thing I have noticed is that his Tic is getting to be more pronounced. I think I have noticed it because he was at my mom and dad's for a week. When he stopped taking the Ritalin it didn't seem so bad. They told me that if the Ritalin was the cause then it should go away. Well it never really did and now it is back full force, as if he never stopped taking the Ritalin. He sees his doctor again in May and I hope he can shed some more light on this.
I feel like we are back in 6th grade, nobody knows what's going on with him, he is angry and hostile. He has been taking Risperdal for the the voices and as a mood stabilizer, maybe the dosage needs to be increased, I miss having the semi-compliant child and it drives me crazy to think that he will be on medication for the rest of his life.
I know taking everything out of his room except for his mattress isn't going to work. His issues go far beyond just bad behavior. I feel like, I don't know how I feel anymore..I feel like everything is out of control again.

Have you considered counseling for both Zachary and yourself? We had 3 ADD children in our home at one time, which wasn't a picnic and we found out that counseling helped for us. A good counselor will help you deal with your feelings and give you the moral support you need. I know from experience that you tend which is totally unnecessary.
Hang in the Diamond. I'm Zach will sort himself out. I don't have any other better advise though.
