[QUOTE="dadside, post: 354389, member: 5707"] [SIZE=2]There is a lot of wisdon in the responses from Mattsmom and from helpme. Being able to detach is critical for you. And for your son to "turn around", he has to want to - whether living with you or his dad. There are lots of places and programs that deal effectively with the issues your young son has, but in one form or another they would call for your son to want to change, then to have change supported. In the custody decision coming, I suggest you reject any shared arrangement, save some (very?) occassional visitation. It is sure to be hard on you either way, but your other children are involved as well. If you "win" custody of your youngest, get some help in enforcing rules, and get something in that his dad is not allowed to care for him without your prior agreement - so that refuge for your son can be legally gone. I can't guess what will happen, but encourage you to have a plan either way -- and stick with it! [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
