[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 150022, member: 3419"] Welcome, Wicked Stepmother! You have written such a thorough description that it sounds to me like it's a combination of inherited illness (pjs outside of clothes and outside in middle of the night) and deliberate manipulation. What sorts of consequences do you have for making up stories? For throwing away shoes? Does he have to work around the house or yard to earn money to pay for a new pair? I would definitely find a new child psychiatric. But even with-o medications or a good diagnosis right now, it seems like you could do some behavior modification. For example, when he says, "I just did that for positive reinforcement" (or whatever the phrase was--I can't find it now), you can reply, "I like it as much as you do when you do something for positive reinforcent. Let's keep it up." Also, keep in mind that kids with-attachment disorder often deliberately try to drive away adults, so they can prove that they are, in fact, unloved. Paradoxical, for sure, but painfully true. Do you tell him that you love him? I know it's hard, given his behavior. Welcome to the board. You've got your hands full. I know what you mean by saying everything revolves around him. [/QUOTE]
