[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 675620, member: 1550"] Hi there and I'm sorry you are having so many problems with your dear son. How was his infancy and toddlerhood? Has he experienced changes in caregivers, abuse maybe from Dad or a boyfriend or girlfriend either of you had, any neglect? He almost sounds like he has attachment disorder, which is very difficult and hard to treat and is caused by early breaks with caregivers or neglect. Does not sound like you neglected him, but maybe the other parent? Did he ever go to foster care of alternative "parents" such as aunts or grandparents? Has he been to therapy for the abuse of the babysitter?Is Have the medications helped him or made him even worse or had no effect? Has he ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist, which is way different from a neurologist. I highly recommend that. In the meantime, you sound as if you love animals, but please...rehome all your pets. We had a foster child who killed our dogs...we never dreamed he was capable of it. Do NOT leave him alone with any baby for any amount of time. This foster child we had molested our younger kids. Does your son ever act out sexually, sucsh as grabbing buttocks of others or pulling down his pants? Peeing and pooping on the floor? Does he have a fascination with fire? Any head injuries in his history? If you have guns, lock them up GOOD. Hugs and keep posting. Others will come along. [/QUOTE]
