[QUOTE="mazdamama, post: 450857, member: 12227"] Thanks for all the input. Daniel is going through puberty...ugh...and does think he is a little adult. When he calls me babe or honey I tell him...call me Mom...I am not your babe or honey. He is always asking if I love him and when he does something to aggravate me he says "you hate me don't you?". Guess my mantra of "I love you but sometimes hate the things you do" is getting to him because now he answers that question himself. He does feel bad about things he does and will bawl like a baby when he knows he has gone too far begging me to forgive him. As for David....I think I have gotten through to him not to allow Daniel to do anything that is inappropiate and to tell me what I do not see. The Children's Advocacy Center has been doing staffings on both the boys and I am going to ask the prevention specialist to talk to both the boys (he has said he would in the past) about proper behaviors. Just have to get my wheels running. We have no bus or taxi service here and although the CAC is only 2 miles it is too far to walk in this heat. The residential care....I have mixed feelings about. It would be easy to put him there but the Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) feelings he is having would increase and we are a closeknit family of three. Therapist also said that sometimes in those places sexual abuse can occur with the other kids. Damned if you do and damned if you don't. The psychiatric program he is in would pay for 30 days and then his ins would pay for 30 days...but this could be hospitalization also. I love this little guy and hurt for him. Bio mom tried to drown him and abused him in other ways, my son, bio dad gives out mixed messages...one being that his 3 1/2 yr old daughter means more to him then the boys ever did. I could not imagine being born to people that basically thought more of themselves then me. [/QUOTE]
