[QUOTE="mummyoffive, post: 596409, member: 14982"] His infancy was GREAT. He was a very happy baby with no real issues at all. He started to become out of control at the age of four which progressively got worse closer to five. After the birth of my fifth child was when things got REALLY out of hand. I remember all to well what made me take him in was when he started becoming more and more violent. One day we were at the grocery store and he was demanding that we buy him candy. This is when he grabbed the infant seat with my newborn in it and started violently shaking her seat with her in it trying to knock it down. It just happened that my baby had a doctors appointment the next day so I called and demanded that he was seen as well. I was worried that he would eventually hurt someone or him self... Not to mention my helpless newborn. (As a side note my youngest has some special needs. She was born with a rare genetic disorder and we almost lost her around the eighth day of life so I can't help being overly protective of her as she requires constant care and multiple therapies a week). He no longer takes his anger out on her tho. He didn't have any chaotic early years. His father and I are together and have never been apart.
