[QUOTE="Diabolique, post: 170400, member: 5512"] Thank you so much for the suggestions. My doctor has given me 4 different names of people to call. Two of them appear to be "counselors" (they have MALMHC and LMHC "titles"). One of them is a PhD Licensed Psychologist, and the last one is a MD Psychiatrist. I am not even sure where to begin; I trust my pediatrician and know he must trust these people to give out their names. But, I don't know who does what in terms of testing and evaluation. Oh, and then there's the checking to see who will accept our insurance. You're right, I am so hurt by the things my son has said to me. When I ask him why he says these things or why he does the things he does, his answer is always the same: "I don't know." At first, I thought he was being cheeky. I have recently come to realize, though, that he REALLY doesn't know why he says and does certain things. The knowledge that Noah [U]really[/U] doesn't know has given me the strength to step back and start doing something. He doesn't know why he does things that make everyone (including himself) unhappy, and he needs help. Moving away from my prior thinking that he really intentionally means to hurt me or annoy me to the point of insanity has been the thing that has (barely) kept me glued together. [/QUOTE]
