[QUOTE="whatamess, post: 451037, member: 7664"] Ok, my signature says I have one difficult child, but really I guess I have two. I have posted about my youngest in the past. He had a very rocky kindergarten year due to a number of issues including anxiety. Anyway, last summer, when he was five he said a few disturbing things like, "I wish I wasn't born" and something about drowning (like "maybe I should just drown"). I hadn't heard that type of talk again until a week ago. He was angry about being reprimanded/not getting his way and he cried/yelled, "maybe I just shouldn't have been born" and "I think it's pointless to have babies, they just cost money. Why did you have babies anyway?!" Then yesterday when he wasn't in a particular bad mood or anything, I offered him some blueberries and he asked me if blueberries were healthy and I said yes, they are very good for your body. He said, "will they make me live longer? If they make me live longer then I don't want any". I know my little guy is clever and he hears his older brother who has autism perseverate on lots of things and is very negative. I can't quite decide if he is mimicking older brother's negativity or really thinking these thoughts about himself in a serious way... [/QUOTE]
