Step son driving me crazy
So I have been with my husband for 6 years already his son is 12 now. We gained custody of him a year ago and it has been a constant roller coaster of emotions. His bio mother was doing drugs and CPS removed them. There are 6 total children that the mother has. Well we recently started allowing visits and bio mom is putting things in his head. We got him back Wednesday from a visit and he came back ruder than ever. I have him is counseling and he is seeing a psychologist. Well Friday was a horrible day. I was taking him to the summer program and I asked him if he took his medicine they are labeled morning and evening. He told me yes and then told me no when when we got to the program. I told that he was not going to go to his grandmas that day because he can't follow directions. As I was walking in he punched the door to the center he goes and I was told he could not stay heated that way. I brought him home and was telling him that he needed to sweep, clean litter box, and clean up his room. He started hitting the countertop and banging on things in the seat. I was on the phone with his father and nudged him to stop banging things. He started screaming and saying he was going to report me because I hit him. He has a right to report me. Well he then threatened to hang himself and bang his head violently and kick the wall. I left because I was running late for a appointment. When I left I had been gone 30 minutes and my husband called me and said the police called him. So apparently he ran to the office of our apartment crying and saying he feared for his life and I told him to clean but he can't because he is so scared. He said I beat him and that he didn't want to be there. When my husband got here bio mom was here and her mother. So my husband dropped him off at his mothers house grandma house. So basically he got what he wanted. The counselor suggested calling a hospital for him. I called and they had a bed available for him so I took him. I didn't want him to think every time he acts out he would get what he wants. So he went and they admitted him for his behavior and suicidal thoughts. I tried explaining to him that he cannot be afraid of me because he is always yelling at me and talking back. That's not fear and he said so what he talks back. Anyways yesterday CPS came and interviewed me and my kids. I'm at my wits end. I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to be around him I don't want to try. I am newly pregnant and really wanted to leave my husband because of this. Has anyone ever been through this? Any advice am I overreacting
