Hi just thought I would update on my /ds situation. A while back I posted ds belng aggressive, violent , scaring my other children, suicide attempt, etc was basically alot going on.
So ds has been having therapy via CAMHS. This was going on before the shit hit the fan. But I think maybe there's been some focus around home life/relationships.
I have been doing a course for parents of children with emotional disregulation , and it works hand in hand with the therapy ds is getting. I don't know whats actually said . But it seems to be doing good.
One of my things is I'm learning to say no. Everyone was take take take. I had no me time what so ever. I could not clean house properly. It felt horrible, I was not even able to shower/bath properly
Ds has slowed right down with his aggression he can be a bit iffy now and then. But its under the normal bracket of teen. He's not been voilent in a while no smashing the house up etc. He's now doing a construction course his attendece is a bit hit and miss hopefully he will improve but he says he likes it.
Me and ds are spending time together. He comes sits in the living room. We have little pointless chats. A little gossip here and there 😅. Its been lovely spending time with him. And I feel like we are definitely turning a corner.
