[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 316563, member: 805"] I think it's really important for us, the solid parent, to remember that our children do not have our perspective as adults. All they know is that they want love, acceptance and care from their parents. They are forgiving and forgetful when it comes to their mom and dad. Your son believes he needs his mom and that she will eventually love him above all else. He needs to see a therapist that can help him sort out the reality vs his child-need. He needs someone gentle and understanding. I believe, were I in your case, that I would start there. Many of his behaviors could stem from the self image his mother has given him. Mental illness has its strongest component in genetics. Eventually his therapist can recommend a psychiatrist or a neuropdoc that can test and diagnosis your son. Why his doctor won't diagnosis him is beyond me, but it's a clear sign that you need another doctor. But I feel strongly about addressing the issues with his mother first. Just my opinion. Welcome to the board. I hope your son gets help soon - I feel for him. Sharon [/QUOTE]
