[QUOTE="keista, post: 432722, member: 11965"] So I had to look up Adjustment disorder. If I understood the information correctly this is not a very promising diagnosis (not that others would be) because if I remember your posts correctly, the only two things that would cause your son to suffer from Adjustment disorder, would be your easy child's medical issues and/or you going back to work. Hmmmmmmmmm Are there any other major stressors to indicate this diagnosis? Breathe, breathe. in my opinion and experience, when there is a family crisis, regular parenting takes a break. EVERYONE feels the stress. I'm guessing this is the reason for the diagnosis. Time for more treats, more indulgences, if for no other reason than to keep the peace and be able to focus attention and energy where it is most needed at the moment. When you need to focus on easy child, can you and husband tag team - one with each child - trading off periodically? Can you bring in any friends or family to help watch difficult child, but you and husband still "tag" back with him periodically so he still feels in the loop and not neglected? Such a difficult situation, my heart goes out to you all. Don't be sorry for venting. I *think* that's what this forum is here for.:consoling: [/QUOTE]
