Jake

Jake goes back to school on Monday! Yesssss! I am so excited! While I do love Jake, he is so difficult to deal with. We tried him on a new medication and for the 3 days he was on it, he was mean, manipulative and hostile. I felt like I was constantly being plotted against by him. He actually ran away one day! By running away, I mean he went and "lived" in a non running car my hubby has. He holed himself up in that car, convincing his 4 year old bro to do the same. He had a broken bb gun that he was carrying around like some kind of demented soldier. UGH! I told hubby that he needed to get rid of ALL guns, working or not because I am just so tired of being threatened by Jake! So, we quit that medication pretty quickly. He's now on a really low doseage of med. Most days he refuses to take it. There's really no way, short of abuse that you can MAKE a 10 year old take meds if he doesn't want to. It's so aggravating. Jake is singlehandedly ripping the family apart. It's abnoxious. He is antagonistic to the fullest and when you call him on it, he grins! He makes me so angry! He actually thinks he's so dang funny and I can't seem to make him understand that everyone is fed up with his antics! We are not enjoying his joking...... Monday can't come soon enough!
