[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 507910, member: 1550"] Well, sounds like biology is against him as his biol father, in spite of not being in his life, is part of his DNA. However, I would get a neuropsychologist evaluation and try to give him help, a diagnosis that can be worked with, and coping skills that your ex never had. I can't emphasis enough how much I believe that a neuropsychologist can find what others miss and how that CAN be a turning point for your child. Please consider it. There are usually long waiting lists for neuropsychs (because they are so good), but the wait is worth it. You can find neuropsychs at university and children's hospitals. There is hope. I always like the phrase Keep the Faith. Just never give up and keep on looking for answers. There is more that can be done for him than what is happening now. Big hugs and hope to hear from you soon! Keep posting, regardless of what choices you make for your precious child. And don't forget to take time to baby yourself (bubble baths with fragrant candles and a good book is my favorite means of relaxation). Maybe husband can watch them while you steal a little bit of time to baby yourself :) [/QUOTE]
