[QUOTE="moonglow, post: 315556, member: 256"] Sounds like where the youngest of the three my sister adopted could be at. I recently found out his 15 yr old bio-mom had been doing drugs when she was pregnant with him..and was caught abusing him as an infant in the home for pregnant teens too which resulted in her losing him...hence my sister adopting. The dr that did some recent testing said some parts of his brain might not have developed correctly. Severe Learning Disability (LD)..AS..can't seem to process spoken language very well...gets information all mixed up..yet can read on a college level AND understand what he read. Very strange stuff. The scary thing is his IQ was dropping with each test and my sister was wanting to know why! He is just above borderline IQ now. :( We all think he needs to be living in a group home with supervision. Sister kicked him out at the end of the school year...he is 18 but has another year of high school to go. Got him set up in an apartment..things are not going well. He was getting more and more abusive towards her to the point it was about to turn into physical abuse and with him so much bigger then her now...she had a enough and for her safety he needed to move out. I guess what I am trying to say here is that we never know what might not be working right with difficult child that they truly cannot help. Things under developed, not connecting right...who knows...and who knows how much can be genetic or a wild card too! you can only do the best you can and nothing more. And work with what you have. Its still hard...crushing in fact giving so much and then nothing. :( But you never know either...studies show the brain is still developing up to the age of twenty five! And for some..things suddenly click into place later... Hang in there. [/QUOTE]
