[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185504, member: 1233"] Terry, I don't think this will effect your son's heterosexuality or other sexual choices. The multicolored nails on a boy are a sign of goths OR a girl friend with too much sway over him and not enough to do (been there done that with a friend and her boyfriend - she was ALWAYS painting his nails. He kept removing the polish, but wouldn't tell her no. ) As for CPS, the cops here haven't called them, except after I refused to let him stay here. CPS was repped by a senior staff member who KNEW us from thank you's basketball. they also reviewed the file and told the judge they couldn't name another family who had done as much for a child as us. They told the judge they understood teh decision because we had 2 ohter kids to consider (this was when the judge asked if our kicking difficult child out was neglect or abuse or actionable). Basically they said takinghim back here would be abuse to the other 2. I had NO IDEA they were consulted until we were in court. So they may be consulted but not do anything unless this results in court. Keep records about what you have done, who does it, and what the outcome was. Even a simple note on your calendar will greatly help you when and if problems arise. I think having a full physical with blood work is a great idea. I also think you need to find a psychiatrist. A pediatrician really is NOT trained or capable of handling our kids specialized needs. I know our pediatrician did prescribe both prozac and zoloft to jess for the PTSD, but when those were not good, she told us she couldn't help. The pediatrician HAS given us 1 month scrips to tide us over when we were between docs due to insurance changes, but that is ONLY with the records from the specialist. I can say that the school police officer was an AMAZING source of ideas for help for my difficult child. He gave me a 2 page, small font list of places that took kids for specialized treatment. I can even say our therapist was floored - she had been in practice over 10 years and NEVER heard of most of the places! I let her make copies of the list and she has sent me a few thank yous over the years since. They helped her with other patients in our area who couldn't find a placement. I can say that the police DO know my son, and if something did happen in the hours he was known to roam, it wouldn't surprise me if they asked him some questions. This is why we curbed his nocturnal wandering and got him to tell us where he would be. I hope they don't come knocking on your door if something happens in your area. That would be scary. Anyway, more hugs coming your way. I hope your husband and the idiot psychologist who chalked this up to "guy stuff" don't give you too much hassle. Even if they do - get the evaluations done!
