[QUOTE="busywend, post: 163678, member: 391"] night4now - welcome! You are probably feeling overwhelmed at this point in time. I can tell by your plea to 'just tell me where to start'. In my opinion, a fresh start is warranted here. You are not getting what you need from either of the professionals you are working with at this time. I think it is horrible that any professional could suggest your situation is not severe enough. Obviously, that professional has never known anyone that has been sexually molested. It is a scar that does not heal. It is very severe. No, it has not happened to me, but to many here on the site. It pains me to read the sorrow that comes with it. One thing I did learn is that no matter the level of abuse, it scars forever. So, start with the children's hospital and explain your situation a bit, but ask for a sit down face to face with the expert in the areas of sexual abuse and of attachment. I am sure they have an affiliation with the hospital. I say attachment due to the fact that the 7yo is not biologically either of yours and has been essentially abandoned by both of his biological parents. That hurts. He will need help for many of his years. Have you read 'The Primal Wound'? It is about the separation of a child from his/her mother. [/QUOTE]
