Hard Day Relived or is it Ground Hog Day?

I'm sitting here in my swish office thinking about yesterdays events.

It all started when Lucy wanted to borrow Tom's earphones, after much name calling and yelling the kids came out to me in the office to tell me all about it. I asked Tom to lend them to her. Of course he said no. They went back in to the house. 5mins later I hear screaming to see Tom coming out the back door covered in blood. Lucy had called Tom names he went in to one of his meltdowns and punched one of our glass antique doors and smashed it.
Once again we were at the hospital. 5 stitches and lots of blood later we are home.

I am seriously not coping with Toms temper. We are forever having people here fixing things he has broken or smashed. He couldnt find his pencil case the other day and kicked in the kitchen cupboard. We hardly have any flyscreens left as he kicks them out so he can get out of the hosue and run away. We live in a house worth $800k, he has no respect for anything we have worked so hard for. During last week I asked him to do something, he pushed me out the way and hit me in the mouth splitting my lip. I honestly think he didn't mean to hit me that time.
I'm so sacred he is going to have a meltdown and seriously hurt himself or hurt or maybe kill someone else. I honestly fear for my and others safety.

I'm at my wits end, I'm seriously considering giving him up. This is so hard to write.
I just don't know what to do! Please remember that I'm doing all this as more or less a single mother as my husband is away for work 6 days a week.

I'm waiting for the paediatrician to give me a call with some ideas.

Big hugs hun.
You have to do what is right for you and your family and if that means getting Tom some extra help, then that is what you have to do.

Surely there is an adolescent unit that he can be properly assessed for his current behaviour?
I say that because I've worked in those kinds of wards for years. I see kids like Tom all the time.
