[QUOTE="ksm, post: 586777, member: 12511"] One more thing... the reason I believe that difficult child has FASD is that my son (difficult child's step dad) met her mom when she was pregnant with difficult child. He saw her do lots of drinking and drugs and participated in it too. He didn't know she was pregnant until a couple months after he met her. He did say that once "she knew she was pregnant" she stopped, but that would put her at at least 4 months pregnant when she stopped drinking., difficult child is a carbon copy of biomom. The way she thinks, acts, talks. Biomom would rationalize all sorts of reasons why she didn't have custody of her older two children. She never held a job for but a few weeks, was always couch surfing to find a place to spend the night, worked as an "exotic dancer", etc. etc. I have now realized that difficult child's biomom probably has FASD too.
