[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 709327, member: 13260"] One thing that stuck out for me was that this child is your first and you feel like you've done something wrong. Nope, nope, noppity nope, don't even go there. My daughter has two children: one is the reason I'm on this forum and has many issues that are similar to your son's. His sister is a dream. Same parents, same schools, same daily life but completely different. Parented the same, faced the same issues with a messy divorce between their parents and yet their reactions were totally different. It sounds like you're on top of what needs to be done, and it sounds like there might be some genetics at play. My grandson is the spitting image of his father, and has the same personality. It's would be funny if it wasn't. His father is an extremely difficult person and his parents didn't know what to do for him, so he didn't get the help he needed when he needed it. My grandson couldn't do a whole day at school until he was in the first grade. He just had too many meltdowns, aggressions, etc. It's better now in many ways. Years of drug therapy (always a crap shoot with this little people), talk and play therapy, finally at a school that "gets" him, us changing how we deal with him at home by studying books (Explosive Child, What Your Angry Child is Trying to Tell You, etc.). Our grandson is a bright, sensitive, caring, sweet kid, except when he isn't. And when he isn't: look out! [/QUOTE]
