[QUOTE="jetreahy, post: 433331, member: 12095"] Thanks. Yes, he had speech delays (was just released from speech therapy a month ago) and was behind most normal stages as an infant and toddler. He had anger and behavior issues then, too, but they were 'related' to his lack of communication. He does still wet the bed almost nightly and has trouble learning basic things kids his age should know. Tying his shoes is one example. He has learned this several times, but seems to always forget and then it is a battle. His dad and I got divorced when he was a year old. We had joint custody until he left the state about 2 years ago. Now "A' sees him during school breaks. Our parenting skills are different. He is very lax and even more so now that he has him less allowing "A' to do what he wants, where I am more of a disciplinarian and of course have the school schedule, so things are more firm here. 'A' does seem to get more anxious and moody the more time that goes by with no contact from his dad. Sometimes 2months will go by with-o a call. His dad's side of the family had some behavioral problems, but none were ever diagnosed. Nothing that I know of on my side of the family, but my Mom has always been overly private and in fact after trying to talk to her about 'A''s problems, I would not be surprised to find some. No substance abuse. He has been going to a local Mental Health Hospital here in Indiana. (Wabash Valley Alliance) and has been seeing a (MS) therapist there who diagnosed him. He has to see another person for a medication evaluation. He is some type of nurse. I can't remember his exact title at the moment, but he is their most conservative 'medicator' according to the therapist. [/QUOTE]
