Older Boy had his visit with the psychiatrist for his medication check today. She modified the med which helps to control anger and aggression and changed one of the other meds so that he wouldn't have dry mouth so badly. She also wrote a note to another of his doctors because she questions why he would be taking two drugs that do nearly the same thing. Hmmm...could it be because NO ONE has been following them all together for the last year and a half?

When I picked Older Boy up from daycare I could tell he was in a mood. Foster Care Specialist had dropped him off earlier after taking him out for lunch. He immediately started yelling at me. I asked why he was mad. He told me he wasn't mad. I explained that when people are yelling at me I assume they are mad and that if is he not mad would he please stop yelling. He continued yelling. Again I asked why he was yelling. He said it is not fair to assume he is mad just because he is yelling. I asked him to please explain why he was yelling and he said he doesn't have to. Then...more yelling. It continued all the way to pick up younger boy with him insisting he was not mad. We got home and he got out of the car and slammed the door, kicked the newspaper out of the driveway and went in his room and slammed the door. Then the crying started. Then the apology...I'm sorry I was mad and yelling at you. Geesh!!

We have been working on identify what you are feeling. I am NOT the best mentor in this area of life. I am thanking God for putting Older Boy in my life to help me work through this as well.
