[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 431306, member: 6705"] Welcome... And LOTS of hugs. I have an almost-13-y/o stepson. I love him to bits. He has some severe problems, though. And he's nowhere near his chronological age, developmentally. But - don't give up on therapy! Honestly, you may need a different therapist/counselor/psychologist. We have a highly esteemed psychiatrist here - Dr. W - and Jett adores him. And until she hit puberty, so did Onyxx. Long story there. But Jett is still seeing Dr. W, and we're on [I]yet another[/I] counselor for Onyxx. I agree with the martial arts, trading cards, etc. I always got along better with people slightly older or younger than I am - which makes no difference as an adult, but as a child it's huge. Jett's actually older than most of the kids in his class, so that helps - [I]some[/I]. More hugs... It's not easy. Really hard. Oh yeah... My husband is similar... Onyxx acts up, his mood drops... Yeah. It's like that... [/QUOTE]
