[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 318898, member: 393"] [SIZE=3][FONT=Comic Sans MS]Another adoptive mom chiming in - I agree with MWMs post. Adoption/attachment issues should be considered. My difficult child son has no sense of guilt or doesn't get the consequences. Saying that, you cannot hide or disagree with an illness. Would you do so for asthma, diabetes or epilepsy? Is this terrifying? It was to me & all of the parents here. However, once you start accepting & putting interventions on board (i.e. therapy, medications, skills training, etc) you may start bit by bit feeling a better about your difficult child. Less terrified. My difficult child daughter has taken seroquel for years & hasn't had serious issues physically. The mental/emotional are all about her illness. Mental/emotional disorders are some of the hardest to deal with as there is no closure - physical things you get well, go into remission (or are stable) or you die. The types of things our kids deal with are life long. Now is the time to put interventions in place. We weren't able to even touch the tweedle's issues until we got the stablized on medications. I didn't have the time to be devastated about this - it just is. Likely it's the same for your difficult child. You have landed here in a safe place for parents; we will however point out some things you may not want to hear. We want what's best for your difficult child & your entire family.
