[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 266886, member: 1550"] Listen to smallmom!!! Your stepson is ANYTHING but normal in his thinking and in my layman's opinion (but it's a strong mom gut opinion) he isn't manipulating you. It sounds like he already is lingering on psychosis. I believe he thought you were poisoning him, which is a psychotic red flag. His reasoning is way off. I wouldn't let him stay home alone for A MINUTE. I have serious doubts about Lexapro doing much for your stepson other than making him worse. in my opinion this kid needs an anti-psychotic, not an antidepressant, which can make kids who don't have disordered thinking have disordered thinking. Is this child seeing a Child Psychiatrist (with the MD) as his main diagnostician? What is his bio. mom's diagnosis? I think you are trying to make a very sick child into a bad child, and in my opinion (and, yeah, I'm just a layperson) you are wrong. husband doesn't know what to do because of the nature of his child's illness--he doesn't know how to handle it. Has he ever seen a neuropsychologist? If not, that's another avenue I would take. I would lay off worrying about the food. I was 4'10" and 75 lbs. at age 12 and it was just the way I was built. Trust me, I had to watch my weight later on. He may have erratic eating due to his disorder. [/QUOTE]
