[QUOTE="TFL, post: 430511, member: 12008"] Thank y'all for the nice welcome and advice. I know I'm spoon feeding information and I tried to figure out the signature line, but obviously not successful YET! Our difficult child has been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) and Sensory Integration Disorder (SID)(quite honestly it's hard for me to keep up with all the diagnosis). He has the classic physical signs of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) as well (in regards to the facial features). He has seen a neuropsychologist and has a psychiatrist he sees regularly. My husband has never been included in the visits although he has begged to be included. During his inhouse treatment, we did frequent visitation. Upon our first visit we were asked how we were related to the difficult child and they were shocked to find a father with concern for the child. She has remarried and his SF insists on being called Daddy. husband has spoken at length with the mother regarding treatment in Houston. We live close to Houston and there are the finest facilities available for second opinions. Each time she balks at the idea and states that it's too far for HER to drive. We have offered several solutions, but she seems hell bent on staying with the current status quo. We desperately would like to find an overall solution, but quite selfishly I would just love to learn some coping mechanisms to stop the chaos during the extended visits. I am going to read "The Explosive Child" ... after reading the reviews it's seems like it will at least give us a direction to go. Fingers crossed! :) [/QUOTE]
