Watching your difficult decision play out

Two weeks ago, I posted this about putting my son on an anti-psychotic medication.

Wow, that's a sentence you never want to write as a parent.

There are differences in him, mainly that he sleeps, a lot. With me at least, he mumbles what few words he does use. He used to speak to me a with more clarity. At school, this is not much of an issue. He has had at least one incident of self harm at his mother's, but it has been easier for her to help get him dressed in the morning.

I think he's in a safer place, maybe because he's so doped up he does not have the energy to act out.

I do not know. I do not miss the screaming, but the noticeable loss of energy is heartbreaking.
