[QUOTE="Carrie719, post: 751812, member: 24489"] No, not adopted, little bugger crawled right out of me. My husband and are married and have never separated, although we do work really different hours. I work an 8-5, he works mostly nights and weekends. My husband lets him watch scary movies with him, but not like slasher films, more like haunted house kind of stuff. I don't think it's the best idea, but I also don't think it's related to his behavior. I sent a text message to his therapist as soon as I found out about it but I haven't heard anything back yet. I'm guessing she is with other clients at the moment. I've tried to lean on the school to provide additional services. I requested a special education referral, and they decided that he "wasn't bad enough" to deserve services. My son is very smart, and in spite of his behavior, gets very good grades, I still think he needs intervention, but the school looks at him and says it's not effecting his ability to learn, we don't need intervention services. If he were failing he would at least qualify for a 504, but because he's smart, he's denied help. Pretty Effed up in my opinion. I hadn't thought about hiring a lawyer. His school has a new principal this year, he's much more tuned in than the previous administration, so I want to give him a chance to help us. But, I suppose if we can't get the help we need from the school, a lawyer may be the next course of action. Just thanks for listening and caring. Like I said, people I know who I try to talk to about him, they don't understand. They only see snippets of him, it's hard to fathom, I guess. [/QUOTE]
