Now we start to enter his Jr High years. He starts out very well. His depression is doing well. Hiss anger and explosive side is not bad. But its a concern still. I do need to tell you that his explosive side is a bigger problem
at times for the depression.

He gets good grades in 7th grade, and he gets through 8th, and goes on the Washington DC trip. I just realized he made it through both years. Not exactly sure what his incentivthe was for this. Other than when his ADD needed more meds the nurse allowed a cokhe in 8th grade instead of more meds. Because he just need it for one hour. And he didnt take it at home every night.

But hormones hit, in 9th grade, friends brought cigmarettes, he got caught with them. I made a mistake letting a doctor change prozac to Wellbutrin
and not know you can't always take Adderall iwith it.

3 weeks after changing, one morning he had a situation were he put my middle son through our wall. I had to call a ambulance. He then proceeded to take the cords out of the wall. I had cordless phones. So I called back.
He kept taking the phone away. They sent me help, before the ambulance.

He explouded, like this all the time it seemed anymore. Anyway to explain.

He was sent to a center for boys, then to a state center for testing. Then instead of sending him to boys school. Because we had all the Proof that we had been trying for years to get him help. They placed him at A place called Gibault school for Boys. It happens to be were I credit, for saving his life, keeping him out of jail for life, and the best place int eh world for him at the time.

It was the hardest thing I had done. But when he finally got there after the 4 months I think it was. The psychiatrist that treated him, after another month. Put him on Depakote and wellbutrin. And with in 1 week there was a change. I had a undepressed child, and I also had a child that had a memory.

I still had times, that the depression showed its head later in years. He tried his hadnd at no meds. Or he was 18 and had sex with a 15 year old and got in trouble.

But he has straightened his life out and I can say for sure WOW>
