[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 745396, member: 18958"] There are huge developmental changes at adolescence and neurological problems that had been dormant, latent can be triggered at that time. I am not saying this is the case. I am not saying to believe or trust this doctor. He may or may not be trustworthy. What I am saying is that what he is suggesting, that there could be brain abnormality, could be so. Right now there is no other ready or reasonable option except to work this through. Learn what he suspects and why. Learn about each test and decide. Look at results. This mom is terrorized at the idea her son would come home. He has attacked her husband. He has threatened to kill her and tried. He has been actively suicidal. He has been psychotic. He has run away repeatedly. He is not safe at home. She is not safe with him home. For now. I vote for one day at a time. And more information. $400 for safe tests is not a lot of money. Meanwhile he seems safe. He is where he could be diagnosed and treated. (Again. I am not endorsing this doctor.) $3000 a month for intensive therapeutic residential is not alot. The biodad is financially responsible for now not B. There seems to be a discount in the works. This is my question. During the time L was with his grandmother there seems to have been no running away, self harm or aggression. How does this make sense? [/QUOTE]
