[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 440480, member: 65"] I became the difficult children Mom right before their 4th & 6th B-day. I'm not sure with Ant when he issues started or if they were a result of 6 years of having no boundaries. With Ant, by the time he was 7 I knew something was wrong. It took until he was 10 before I could get husband or mother in law (who still had legal custody so she had to be involved) to believe me so that we could start seeking help. With Steph, she seemed fine, until at age 7 she came to me telling me about the voices that she was hearing that were telling her she needed to hurt herself. And thanks to the wonderful support I had been getting from here, I was able to not freak out. At least on the outside. Steph I know has a mental health issue. With Ant, I will always wonder if it is mental health or upbringing that causes his issue. To live until your 6th b-day without one single boundary has got to mess a kid up somehow. He could throw his dinner plate on the floor, dance across the dinner table and mother in law would say that he had a rough life so you couldn't be mean to him and discipline him for that. When he was still with his birth mom, she was so out of it, that he took care of his baby sister and he was only 2 1/2. [/QUOTE]
