[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616657, member: 1550"] Both new posters, to get a better response, may want to start separate threads about your issues. Has your child had a total evaluation? Sounds like therapy only will not be enough for your grandchild. Grandma, I'm sixty years old, but had two of my kids very late in life (adoption). I think things are done better now and if you don't go along with the way things are done, you may not get any support or help from the school or social services and you could need both. If your grandchildren had very chaotic early years, including possibly many caregivers, neglect, abuse or foster care placement, they could have attachment disorders of various types and that triggers very serious behavior; worse as time goes on if there is no serious therapy from somebody who understands it...and can help YOU learn how to handle him. Here is a link about attachment disorder. I think you should at least give it a read...it could help you understand your grandchild. [url]http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001547.htm[/url] You are dealing with two children who have had incredible upheaval in their lives. It makes sense that they will not behave like children who lived in stable homes all their lives. Too much has happened. I would not take their words to hurt you. They may be wishing things were different and can you blame them? I think it would help if you also got therapy to understand them better. I am assuming you don't really mean your child is possessed and were only making a joke. If not, I'd think you need the help more than ever!!! Feeling badly for you and keeping you in my thoughts. Hope you start your own thread so others will chime in. [/QUOTE]
