[QUOTE="stacy, post: 596418, member: 16390"] He has no learning disability, he has been tested. When he actually tries, he does very well. He excels in math and reading, when he tries. His problem is he refuses to try most of the time. His IQ was tested, however he refused most of the test, so it was pointless. One year he will really try on his OAA (Ohio Achievement Test) and score very high, the next year he decides he doesn't want to do it and fails it all. He does not show remorse for anything, nor accountability. It is always someone else's fault, or he didn't do it. He never accepts responsibility. He is much like a shell of a person and generally emotionless when it comes to sadness, empathy, or remorse. He thinks it's hilarious when I cry or when someone is hurt. A few years ago our uncle was murdered (shot in the head), this was an uncle that he was pretty close to. It was the first death or funeral he had ever experienced, but I found it weird that he kept going up to the casket and touching him, primarily his head and trying to find the bullet hole, which he did. He thought it was the coolest thing and kept putting his finger in it. He loves disorder, chaos, and drama. If he is getting what he wants, oh he can be the perfect child, but as soon as the fun or gifts are over, so is the well behaved child. Everyone describes him as the master manipulator. He has actually thrown things at his teachers, shoved desks and chairs into them, and drawn his arms back to hit them. He starts fights at school and hurts his brother frequently, but no never me. He did tell a family member once (several years ago) that one night he was going to come into my room and shoot my husband, but the only gun he knew of was the BB gun and he knew that wouldn't kill him. I do believe a lot of his childhood has to do with his issues, which as I said is always why I am upfront and honest with everyone about it, but he refuses to talk about it or address it and the behaviors are too much for me.
