[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 77214, member: 59"] You are an angel to take this child into your family. Attachment disorder rears it's ugly head once again. I worry about the morbid thoughts and actions with dead animals. The lack of showing affection except on their terms is so familar to me. My daughter would not let us hold or snuggle with her and yet she would crawl up into strangers laps and be inappropriately affectionate. Your son is carrying around a lot of baggage, a lot of inherited disorders. I know my daughter is also and I susopect there are even more than I know about. Recently I have been terribly worried about sociopathic tendencies I have noticed. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that there are things she was born with that she can't help, and that's why she acts the way she does. It's still so difficult to live with a child that pushes you away constantly and shows no empathy or attachment. My advice is to find a therapist that you trust and work with him/her. Keep your son in therapy as long as you can, especially as he goes through adolescence. Be willing to try different therapies/medications. What works for one may not work for someone else. Keep in mind you will be treating symptoms, not a specific disorder which may change as he gets older. Nancy [/QUOTE]
