[QUOTE="DDD, post: 472001, member: 35"] Have you had a neuro/psychological evaluation done by a qualified independent team? Very often those evaluations are able to identify the various problems and diagnosis. that indicate, to some degree, what the future may hold for him and for you. I strongly advise that you don't rely on information provided by social services. Much is left out of the history on purpose...and...since social service workers are not trained Psychiatrists they interpret based on their own viewpoint. Also due to the economy I am hearing more frequent cases of support services being reduced or cut. Not only is it physically and emotionally stressful to raise a difficult child, the financial burder can eliminate retirement funds much faster than ever anticipated. I'm very glad that you are not moving forward with adoption at this time. Meanwhile it is good news that life has settled down a bit. Many of us refer to the rollercoaster ride of living with difficult child's. It does go up and then often quickly goes down. Good luck in your decision making process. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
