[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 179190, member: 1233"] I am so sorry about the abuse from Gpa. It is hard when you endured it, and were told not to trust what you experienced to be real. Living that from an early age really erodes your confidence in yourself. Know that your difficult child may be a hard kid because who he is, genetics, or the abuse. or some combo that you probably won't ever know. Forgive yourself - you did the best you could with what you had at the time. You NEVER woke up and said, "How can I best mess up my kid today?" If you were that kind of parent you wouldn't be here. You would be out partying or further messing up your kid. Trust the mommy instinct. Your fight or flight may not be the cause of his. I meant it only as an example of what he might be feeling. We go through a fair amount of it with Wiz. I am glad he has been able to be a loving child recently. Have you applied for SSI or disability for him from social Security? That would help with support. Also the county health dept should have some services he may qualify for, assisted living, etc... [/QUOTE]
