[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 652560, member: 1550"] I have no idea if so many moves in infancy can cause attachment problems, but I do think he needs a psychiatrist (with the MD). There is a lot of bad stuff in his DNA. Hearing voices is very concerning and I'd follow up since there is a strong history of mental illness in the family. Command voices tell people to do "bad" things and are so compelling that they do. Thirteen is an age when a latent mental illness can suddenly evolve into it's fullness. Could be early onset schizophrenia or bipolar...or something else. I wouldn't wait for it to get worse. Find out, get help, and be calm about it, knowing you are doing all you can for your boy. Feel some comfort, knowing that you DO care, but that you can not help him because you are not a psychiatrist. Take him to one. That's who may be able to help him. Mom love sadly does not fix mental illness. Don't feel guilty...it won't help him. Take good care of YOU too. You need to be healthy and strong and you matter, just like your son matters. "Keep Calm and Do What You Have to Do" You may want to consider residential treatment if he is a risk to you or your safety and can't go to school. Some RTCs take Medicaid. Good luck and welcome to the board :) [/QUOTE]
