[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 418080, member: 1233"] Get to a Domestic Violence Center today or as soon as possible. It doesn't mean you have to LEAVE today, it is a way to find out what is and isn't appropriate and what options and resources are there to help you with this. It isn't at all unusual for a diagnosis to change as a child grows. If you have not read The Bipolar Child and The Explosive Child, they are going to be huge helps. Some of the signs your son shows could also be symptoms of Aspergers, and the food texture things are most likely to be Sensory Integration Disorder. An Occupational Therapist (OT) can diagnosis Sensory Integration disorder and teach you how to help those problems. Therapy for Sensory Integration Disorder (SID) involves providing the types of sensations that are calming to him (could be soothing music, rocking wildly in a rocker or swinging wildly or carrying a heavy box or wearing a weighted vest - a wide wide range of things the Occupational Therapist (OT) can help with). SOme of his problems could also be due to post traumatic stress from living with a father who is violent and thinks he needs to be beaten. Only having full rages with his father is NOT a good sign. I know money is tight and you are not working, but there ARE resources out there to help you. If your husband continues to hit your child, CPS WILL get involved and you may face the decision to stay with your husband and lose ALL of your kids or to leave husband and keep them. It would be quite rare that only one child was removed from the home. The violence MUST STOP. Regardless of what you do to get it to stop. Until your husband stops being violent, your children will not have much hope of getting the help and accommodations that they need. ALL of the kids iwll need therapy and likely other types of help from living in the chaos and violence. If husband is willing, most DV centers have classes and individual and group therapy for men to learn new patterns. I am sorry. I almsot never say this, but your chldren will ALL learn that violence is how you get what you want, and if you are bigger/stronger then you can force anyone to do what you want. is this what you want them to know when they are preteens/teens and are as big as YOU are?? because it WILL come out at YOU when you want them to do or not do something.
