[QUOTE="buddy, post: 503406, member: 12886"] I really don't know, but some of what he says sounds like typical egocentric preschool manipulation. Still, given his history, I could see you being cautious. Kidsdo say they are going to kill someone else or themselves because at that age it is not even a permanent thing. I would be even more concerned because maybe the reason he is doing this (in part?) is he does not really know how to process daddy being gone. It sure wouldn't hurt to go for an evaluation. Going to therapy doesn't mean that we necessarily have a permanent diagnosis or anything. It is good to learn skills to talk and process feelings and given his family history. A good child therapist can help sort through normal developmental issues and if there is a problem too. You are such a good grandma... I just want you to know again, I am really sorry for all you are going through. HUGS, Buddy [/QUOTE]
