[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622685, member: 1550"] Whatever is wrong, apparently boyfriend is not interested in finding out. I'm not so sure it's smart to stay in this relationship. This child is likely to stay a huge problem. This kid could have attachment disorder too if his early years (infant-two) were crazy, chaotic, and he was shifted around a lot from one caregiver to another. That really screws up a kid's developing brain. Those kids grow up without a conscience and do dangerous things at times and are not safe to live with. Do you feel safe with him? Bottom line: If boyfriend is not going to do any serious exploring, or if he can't because of his mother, I'd think long and hard about sticking with the boyfriend no matter how much you love him. This kid is going to cause nonstop grief. Here is a link for attachment disorder. You can look it over if you like and see if it sounds like it fits. I have an autistic son and he is NOT mean. He's the kindest person I know. Ok, the link: Many attachment disordered kids are adopted so there is reference made to that. But many are also from divorced homes where their early lives were chaotic and filled with various different caregivers with no chance for them feel safe. Anyhow, judge for yourself. A regular therapist would not know how to treat this. [/QUOTE]
