[QUOTE="seeker78, post: 613878, member: 15400"] He is not adopted so it's embarrassing that he has these attachment issues. However, he was unexpected so my pregnancy with him was stressful. Me and his dad weren't really together, his dad didn't want me to have him. So I had a lot of mixed feelings about my pregnancy with him. I think I had post-partum when he was a baby. We lived with my parents when he was like 6 months to 1 1/2 and then lived with my mom until he was 2 1/2, she lived upstairs from us when he was 2 1/2 until about a year ago. For the past year, it has been just me and difficult child. His dad came around during the pregnancy and has been involved in his life. He has him 2 days/week. He is a lot more strict in his parenting style and I think too harsh at times. My parenting style has been more lenient which I'm working on. I've taken difficult child to a lot of different professionals. The latest psychologist did an evaluation with him and thinks ADHD. As far as family history goes, there's a lot. Me and his dad are in recovery for alcohol problems, I have had issues with anxiety, and depression. And in my family, there's history of substance abuse, depression, anxiety, ADHD. My brother had a lot of the same issues that my son is having when he was young. Very defiant, aggressive. Hope this is helpful. [/QUOTE]
