[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 213419, member: 3419"] Hi Can'tHandleIt, Welcome! I have cousins in Janesville. Small world. :) Your son has a lot of the same behaviors as mine, but I've had him since he was 2 days old. The hysteria you described certainly had seizure-like characteristics. I can't really add to the advice here, but I can agree with-it--I would get him some professional evaluations. And it does sound like you are devoted to him and feel obligated. If you marry this man, you will be taking on this child as your own. The problems you have now will NOT go away. You will all learn tools and coping skills but it will be a difficult relationship. You've got some hard thinking to do. I do not envy you. I was going to travel to Janesville a cpl yrs ago when one of my young cousins was killed in a car wreck, and I recall looking at a map and trying to decide whether to fly into Madison or Milwaukee. I don't think you're going to have a lot of luck in your small area finding a neuropsychiatrist, and you will have to drive to a bigger city. It will take time out of your schedule and your stepson-to-be's schedule so it's something to think long and hard about. If you make this committment, the tests will be worth it. If you don't, I hope his dad makes the commitment to get an evaluation and workup. This poor child needs support and help. He has been abandoned and given way too much freedom and doesn't know up from down, and has underlying issues, to boot. Despite the fact that you are the Meanie, is there a bond between the two of you? You are taking him to a sport he loves and excells at, so on some level, he must acknowledge that. Do you cook meals for him? Take him to school? ... again, that bond. Take care. [/QUOTE]
