[QUOTE="klmno, post: 354925, member: 3699"] Blaming a parent seems to be common, unfortunately. But put it down for a day or so and read it again after cooling off and maybe it will come across as pointing out your difficult child's issues and just suggesting that maybe the style of parenting could help him better- I don't know but that is sometimes the case. As far as the GAF and axis, others can explain this in more professional terms but for a general, layman's overview it is something like this- Axis 1 will list any psychiatric disorder/diagnosis; Axis 2 lists personality disorders; either Axis 3 or 4 lists any physical health problems and the other lists stressors or things that might be "triggers" or just contributing to the problem (like a recent death in a family, previous molestation, legal problems, etc). The GAF is level of functioning with 0 being non-functional and 100 being perfect so I doubt anyone is ever 0 or 100. 65 means there are current functioning impairments, but some of our difficult child's have gone as low as 35 or lower so don't worry about that- it actually helps in getting services.
