[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 432739, member: 1233"] hugs. I am so sorry your young one is so sick. Is it possible that his medical conditions cause his adjustment disorder? Be aware that getting the correct diagnosis the first time you get one is incredibly rare. Too many disorders have the same symptoms. Also the symptoms can change hugely as a child grows up. So take ANY diagnosis like adjustment disorder with a big grain of salt. Many of us get to the point where we don't care what it is called if the treatment helps. Heck, I told one doctor that he could write pregnancy as the diagnosis for my oldest son as long as whatever they did to treat it helped him. Got chuckles, of course, but also got my point across, Know what I mean?? I do suggest that you and husband get some counseling. Together and individually. As the dad, he MUST learn how to handle difficult child appropriately, as well as learn to ahndle whatever your other child needs.
