[QUOTE="klmno, post: 208949, member: 3699"] Hi and Welcome!! It sounds like a very frustrating situation. First, I would suggest that both you and your fiance read the book "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Second, I think maybe your fiance should take his son to a counselor and determine if this is just a reaction to him "losing" his dad to himself. He must be having a lot of mixed emotions. Thirdly, it might be a good idea to have neuropsychological testing done on him. This might sound "way out there", but it is to everyone's benefit- yours and the childs. Without knowing the details, ie did he just start acting this way when you and your fiance get close, where is his bio MOM- did she quickly leave his life, it is hard to know what is behind his behavior. We can't diagnose here anyway since we are not experts. But, many parents here have had similar experiences and can offer support and some insight. Again, welcome and hang in there! I would suggest looking at the FAQ board and doing a signature so we all can become more familiar with your situation. Things seem to be a little slower than usual tonight but others will come around. If you can offer a little more details it would be helpful in pointing you in the right direction. But first, the book might help a lot. Is your fiance open to getting help and/or reading a book about what might help his child? [/QUOTE]
