[QUOTE="wakeupcall, post: 226541, member: 2287"] difficult child acts [I]extremely[/I] immature. I can see it more and more the older he gets and his peers are going off and leaving him. He's always had poor social skills, though we work on it all the time. I mentioned he still talks about Santa and not "getting it".... Although we've told him he was adopted and given him every opportunity to discuss it, he's never done so. Once in a blue moon he will say a sentence or two in reference to his bio mom, but it's fleeting. I have a fear of bringing up more that he could NOT understand yet I feel badly that he doesn't know that he has bio siblings. I've always been afraid of putting him in overload. I don't want to short-change difficult child, but how does one know if I'm doing nothing but confusing him even further? He's in a social development class in his intermediate school and is doing well according to his teacher. He makes all A's and B's. He has one friend who's been a friend for over two years now, but he has no others really. Today his anxiety has been out the roof last night and today. He got up three times to see if Santa had been here (waking me up each time). He slept on his bedroom floor in the threshold of the door so that he didn't miss anything. Before going to bed he made sure the fire was out in the fireplace so Santa could get down without burning his clothing. This is no joke; the boy is very serious. I wish I had answers........don't we all? [/QUOTE]
