[QUOTE="Blueknight, post: 546136, member: 15054"] I checked out that book and it seems like it would have a lot of great info! Thanks for the suggestion! I've tried to offer some suggestions to the mother and she always just says that I sound like a therapist and make it sound so easy. I'm sure theory and real life application are quite different. She is under the assumption that she is being the best mother she can be and doesn't seem too interested in books or outside opinions on how to parent. Sometimes I wish I was in this situation 6 years ago, when I first got married and did not have kids yet. At that time I think it would have been ideal for me to try and step in to help him. Up until 6 months ago though, she would never have agreed to that. Now that they are all going through a tough time, it seems I am now an option :sigh: Medical side note: When my son was visiting last month, I noticed he had odd eating behaviors- like eating a banana and the peel, bits of his mechanical pencil, and nose gold... Anyone know if this is attached to a disorder? Medically I recalled pica from a genetics class and thought maybe this could have something to do with some of his issues. Just curious if anyone else has ran into the odd eating stuff. -Thanks for the wishes recoveringenabler! [/QUOTE]
