Hi IM im in need of some help before i completely loose my mind. I have 3 children the middle my 5yo has issues and no one will listen to me about them shrugging me off saying its normal kids behavior i mean our GP, his pediatrician, the school no one will listen. His always had violent out bursts and just been rougher than other kids but lately his been trying to hurt both people and animals because he feels like it ? i caught him tonight trying to break his younger brothers arms because he wanted to. Im honestly at breaking point i have no idea where to turn or who to ask for help im afraid for anyone that is around him and honestly want to send him away so he cant hurt anyone again. I love him and just want him to get the help he needs but i cant keep up with this i have my own issues to deal with as do my other children and its burning me out i spend most my time crying now questioning my parenting skills.

Wait a minute. Has been actually hurt anyone? If he's having violent outbursts Id suggest psychologist or keep going to a gp until they actually take it seriously.
If he's attempting it I'd go to counselling it sounds like a cry for attention to me.
New GP, referral to a child psychologist and new paediatrician.
It might be time to go into Dr's office and let them know that you are not leaving until you have a referral to a child psychologist. They need to take your observations/problems seriously as the behaviours is getting worse and you are fresh out of ideas, energy, patience, (add here how you are feeling...) It sounds like you need some help, don't stop until you have found some! Best of luck honey!
