[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 588550, member: 1550"] Wow. Honestly, the sort of punishments he got remind me of "A Boy Called It." Classic abuse. I would think that he has some form of attachment disorder and maybe some post traumatic too. I find his early years chilling. I'd like to give the boyfriend drugs and make him sit on his knees reading parenting books for a year with the same kind of meals he forced on your grandson. Is he in therapy? I think that, given all that happened, it is imperative to find out if this crazy boyfriend has done anything sexually to him. Sadly, most abused kids are afraid to say so. Your grandson's head injury may have been because this boyfriend punched him in the head, but he has probably told your grandson that he'll kill him if he ever tells anyone that he hurt him...so it may take a lot of therapy and time before you know what he's really been through and he can work on feeling safe. This doesn't mean he doesn't have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) too, but the abuse is very important to sort through in my opinion before you know what he is really like. Bless you for saving him from those monsters. [/QUOTE]
