[QUOTE="renovation, post: 219250, member: 6438"] Thank you for the welcome and supportive words. The lying - it's manipulative (denying that he hit his brother, telling his teacher he's done with his worksheet, telling his teacher he forgot his snack in order to get the snack she had for kids who forgot, etc.) He seems to be out to get whatever he can get away with. He has an older brother (8) and a younger sister (3). My older son is my benchmark, although I know all kids are different. He is just a really good person - he wants to do the right thing, he's generally truthful, his instincts are altruistic. I don't mean he's perfect at all - he's just a pretty good 8 year old. I'm not sure why my 6 year old is so different. They get along like brothers - they fight like wolves and they can't stand to be apart - the "I hate you, don't leave me" type of thing. Family history - I have been taking zoloft for 3 years for mild depression. My maternal grandmother was bipolar. I need to surf around this site more, but last night I just felt like yelling for help. It was a really bad day. I know people here have bad days I can't imagine, and I hope to be able to offer my support back! [/QUOTE]
