[QUOTE="ElizabethL, post: 652555, member: 18900"] He's not adopted, and is my only child. Father hasn't been in his life since he was 4. He was a challenging 2 year old, very attached to me, to the point where he wouldn't sleep unless I was laying with him. Tantrums often included throwing hot wheels cars at my face (which would then end up in the trash), but he didn't really have too many tantrums, they were just complete meltdowns when he did. He was a perfect angel outside of the house (he never cried in stores, even if told no after asking for something), and at pre-school/daycare (teachers would tell me how helpful he was), and he would be a terror at home (getting into things he wasn't suppose to, not listening to basic instructions, etc). We moved several times, between two states, until he was 4. We've been in this place ever since. I thought the stability would be good for him. At about second grade, he was an angel at home and a terror at school. Problem behavior didn't surface both in and out of the house until about age 10. He was a bed wetter until about 12, which he admitted was because he "didn't feel like getting up". I'd caught him several times urinating on piles of clean clothes, and in corners of the room, which he also claimed were due to him being too lazy to go to the bathroom. Bed wetting stopped last year, just in time for him to go to sleepovers. I was diagnosed with depression and panic disorder, fully in check. Depression and addiction is common on my side. His father's side has a history of manic depressive and MPD (father's mother, MPD following childhood trauma), and I'm sure his father was manic, but I left before finding out for sure. [/QUOTE]
