[QUOTE="Last ♡ Hope, post: 415034, member: 11452"] He sees a pediatric psychiatrist and a therapist. His current diagnoses are: ODD, ADHD impulsive type, Mood Disorder not otherwise specified. The psychs at the hospital think it may be a personality disorder (his bio father was an extremely belligerent, though undiagnosed, CD. DS hasn't been around him since he was too tiny to recall, so the likeness is doubtlessly inherited). The general consensus is that he needs to be in residential care, but the facility here requires the public school system to help fund it and they are dragging their feet to the point of ridiculousness. It took him doing something drastic just to get him into the special school he's in now, and yet even *they* are at a loss... The thing is, he is like two entirely different people within one body! He is so cuddly and loving and sweet and charming at times, but when he's bad - and you never know where or when it will happen - it looks like demonic possession. And emotionally, living like this, as his mother who loves him dearly, I am exhausted. Just exhausted. I seriously feel like I'm becoming depressed... [/QUOTE]
