[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 329225, member: 1233"] Wiz was charming from pre-toddler years up to and including now (adulthood). Ironically NOW is when he is least likely to be believed because around here there is a bias against believing teen boys (about 17-19 yrs). So many things he did seemed so far out of character from the way he acted when he was in public that it was hard for others to believe us, and eventually it was hard for us to even confide in people. The strong belief in him that came from my parents and was often stronger than their belief in me made it much harder for US to tell people what he was doing. We finally just told everyone what was going on. Many still didn't believe us, but we did find a few who believed and backed us up. When Wiz spent 4 months in an in-patient hospital for children with psychiatric disorders we faced some pretty strong disbelief. He was "such a nice boy" that many staff wondered why we were abusing him by keeping him there!!! Thank heaven for the top nurse on his ward and our therapist. They saw through him even before we said anything. OF course our reg psychiatrist and our pediatrician knew what he was really like. Esp the pediatrician because she treated his siblings. I worked with the therapist and took one set of therapy sessions to trigger Wiz. I did everything I could think of to trigger his rage and physical abuse. They knew ahead. They were amazed that at almost 10 weeks he was still honeymooning. It was awful, but he finally burst through his walls and showed them what he showed us at home. I had to sit outside for the last 15+ minutes of it because I was starting to hyperventilate. He just kept trying to get too me through the door. No one doubted us after that. Not for a long time. You have my hugs through whatever comes. [/QUOTE]
