[QUOTE="Atmylimit, post: 507798, member: 13923"] As a toddler he was difficult. I don't mean normal difficult either. Kicked out of daycare at 3 for trying to stab a teacher with a pencil. He struggled a little but the first day of Kinder he ended up charging a teacher and trying to knock over a bookshelf because he didn't want to hear her sing. That's when we began therapy. He has been suspended more times than I can count over the years. No delay in motor skills or speech. He lives with his step father, myself and 3 siblings. He didn't know that my husband wasn't his bio dad until 2 years ago. He has never seen or spoken to his bio father. In my divorce the judge said he was allowed no contact or visitation. He is in federal prison until my son will be 24 years old. He does have a psychiatric history but I don't know any of it. It was disabling enough for him to collect disability from the state. That's all I know. The violent rages and erratic behavior are him to a T. Not saying my MH has been any better over the years. I have been hospitalized and in therapy for ADHD, Bipolar, anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since I was 15. He tries to make friends but can't keep any for very long. We move every 4 years or so with the military but have been put in a special status due to his health care needs that states we won't have to move anymore. I think I answered it all. He has had some significant deaths in the family in the past few years. He flip flops between being depressed but still climbing the walls feeling hopeless to erratic joyful inappropriate behavior. Hope with some history you may be able to better direct me or at least suggest some things. I can't than you or the others enough for giving me some tips. [/QUOTE]
