[QUOTE="gwenny, post: 255048, member: 6852"] Thank you all and I think that everyone who has traveled this long road always holds out for help or different diagnosis. I am just in a different position than most. I am just the stepmom who has to make the best choices for my family. I feel that this dr was highly recomended and does a great deal of work with anti social persons. The problem that I have is that there is no cure if this is truley what he does have. I am able to look at the situation differently than my husband. We have done a tremendous amount of research and feel that the diagnosis is correct but again we are not dr's. This is the 3rd dr and 2 therapists who have felt this as well. I had one therapist who flat out stated that she was not qualified to help difficult child as she felt she was sitting in the same room with Ted Bundy. I feel that difficult child needs alot of help and what we need to do is to be able to give him an education and tools to hopefully become a funtioning part of society and not just another statistic for the prisons. After hearing this diagnosis once again, I am very nervous about having him in the home. I think it's going to have to be determined based on the end of this evaluation period. He will stay at this group home for up to 90 days and than will be determined if he needs higher level of care Residential Treatment Center (RTC) or be placed at home. My biggest concern is my son's safety first and foremost. I could never live with difficult child harming or worse to easy child and would never be able to forgive myself for such a decision. I love husband with all my heart but don't think he would be there if the roles were reversed. The other thing that bothers me is if his Bio-mom refuses to have him live with her because of fear why is it a problem for people to hear (dr's, therapists and such). I don't want to be a horrible stepmom but when faced with this reality what else can one think. difficult child told the doctor that he don't feel bad about anything he has done to anyone. He stated he loves to watch the fighting that he causes, and enjoys starting trouble between people to cause chaos. I am going to resarch the link Terry gave me and see if I can look into what this offers. Noone wants to give difficult child to the state by any means, but everyone needs to remain safe. Thank you all again. [/QUOTE]
