Oh it has been a long two weeks.
SS16 has now begun to steal. He took all of his ADHD meds (adderall) and replaced them with Aleve. He stole my old cell phone and hid it in his room. He stole candy from a store. Candy. You're f'in 16!!!
But you have yet to hear the best part of this story. DH decided that he didn't think SS16 was "smart enough" to switch out the pills, so I must have done it!! Yeah babe, I'm on ADHD meds. The house is always perfectly clean, I'm thin, and you're living in a freakin fantasy land.

So Glad To Have Found This Site

Oh, you have no idea how relieved I am to have found this site!
My SS16 moved in with DH and I about 3 months ago. Up until that time, BM had him in and out of different mental health facilities since he was 5. This kid was on everything under the freakin' sun! Haldol, Lithium, sleeping meds. He was like a little walking zombie.
We have gotten him off everything but the lithium, and started him on ADHD meds. The problem is, since he was extremely overmedicated and institutionalized all of his life, he is a 11yo in a 16yo's body.
