[QUOTE="fancylady, post: 495467, member: 12339"] Hello, He is going to be 12 next month, and he has been living with his father and me for about 6 yrs now. His mother abandoned him, and we know he was abused and neglected by her. We had him repeat the 4 th grade, so he is a year behind n school, and right now he is failing most of his subjects. He does not have any medical conditions that would help explain a lot of the defiant behavior. It has been noted by a doctor that he is abusive to me, and that if he does not stop he will be removed from the home. I love him like he is my own and cry a lot because of how much pain he clearly is in. He has told me that I am worthless, he wished I was dea, he hates me, and Ive beocme immune to those responses. I just want him to realize that he is loved, but he still says i dont love and and I dont care about him. I have stod up to his mother for him, defended him at school against ridiculing teachers and staff, when they are clearly in the wrong, but I dont know what else to do. I am now losing sleep every nite out of fear. It is difficult to do since there is another child in the house, who does not seem to be affected by all this, and I go to college full time, which is very hard to do when he has his outbursts. Im at a point of desperation because I dont want to give up on him, but he continues to push my love and care away, which he says he wants. [/QUOTE]
