[QUOTE="HopeRemains, post: 568875, member: 14139"] Midwest Mom- We got a puppy a few months ago and I watch him very carefully around her (as carefully as I watch easy child). He basically treats the dog the same as he treats easy child. He will call her to him constantly, then push her away and yell at her when she comes. When she tries to play with him and he is preoccupied with tv, he just holds her head down hard without even looking at her and I have to watch for this type of behavior. But you are right in that I am not with him when he is outside and I do think that this summer he killed a baby bird. easy child is the one who told me they found a baby bird and then when I asked where it was, difficult child said it was dead, but easy child insists it WAS alive and I couldn't get a straight story out of them when I went back outside. There was another incident with some fallen baby birds (SOMEONE knocked the nest out of our tree... difficult child and his ex-friend did it... his "friend" is no longer allowed over here because I think she is straight up difficult child and very seriously so) then all of a sudden only one was there and it had been squished. I yelled at both of them because my guess is that they did it together or one was covering for the other one. Neither would fess up and claimed they had no idea how it had happened. I had actually forgotten about these incidents completely because I wasn't thinking Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD) at the time and I really had no proof. Even husband was po'd about that squished bird though we don't know which one did it. I agree that I need to look into fetal alchohol syndrome as well. I think I have before, but my memory is very poor. I think it is highly likely that she was doing meth while pregnant- I know she was heavily on meth while pregnant with her two subsequent children- it was very obvious then. husband says that she wasn't much of a drinker, so he wasn't so worried about that. But the effects of a drug addicted mother are VERY likely in this situation. (We've told the docs about this, seems not to be a huge issue to them, or even of any concern at all...). [/QUOTE]
