[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636628, member: 1550"] Thank your husband for his service to our country. Having said that, he unfortunately had to be elsewehre when his kids were young and, as you said, Mom was/is pretty useless. I would take it to a professional. I would definitely not trust the school district to do any psychological testing. They tend to miss the issues and don't exactly have the best and brightest as their psychologists.Don't take him to a talk therapist. Take him to a neuropsychologist. They do intensive testing so that it is impossible for the child to fool him. He can put down incorrect answers on the test, but the tests are geared to show deception. These antisocial type children are very "good" in the acting department and make us look like liars. Been there/done that! Try to get dad to do the disciplining. You really can't deal with this kid, especially if he may hurt you. He isn't that used to you yet and you should never put yourself or your children or any pets in harm's way. If your son sees a professional, he may be able to get 24/7 help in a residential treatment center. That way your other kids are protected from him and he supposedly will get help way beyond anything he could get at home. But look around. Some treatment centers are horrible and some are good. There are schools for disturbed children too. Don't think you can do this alone. It's too serious. Hugs to you. Keep us updated. We care. [/QUOTE]
