[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 694129, member: 18958"] I am sorry for the pain and stress you find yourself living. You have suffered too much and your son too. Even though your son is a victim, it is very common to for victims to victimize others, when they can. It is called "identification with the aggressor." It is a very sad, sad thing, with the potential that he perpetrate what was done to him, on others. He sounds like a very angry child with every right to be angry, but he needs to be contained and treated. I think you are making the correct decisions now: with the kind of behaviors your son is engaging in, your primary responsibility is to protect the baby and yourself. There is no reason to think that your son will change, without intensive diagnosis and treatment and a structured and contained environment. When he hits adolescence it will be harder to handle him, with greater potential for him to hurt others, potentially gravely. So he is better protected, with the chance of a future, out of your home, in some kind of behavioral treatment facility. However bad this is now, it could be worse. You are doing the right thing, I think. However hard it is. I am sorry. [/QUOTE]
