[QUOTE="DDD, post: 435022, member: 35"] You are analyzing so many levels of concern that I gather the conversation was not the trigger for you rethinking your choice. Does your son visit with his Dad and family? What type of ongoing contact do they have? That's the first question that popped in my mind. I'm sure not qualified to offer any advice. In the past I have known a few (and I do mean a few) couples who were able to share custody for the benefit of the children in a positive way. in my humble opinion that can have huge benefits for the children...but...I know I wasn't able to make that happen. Parenting methods and ideas vary even in married couples. Does your son get along normally at school? Does he get along with the other children in the neighborhood? If he is experiencing rejection and his impulsivity is significant perhaps you should move on to trying medication. I remember how difficult a choice that is. If he has plenty of time outside and being active and still "darts" it could be dangerous. My youngest daughter (GFGmom) would take off frequently even after dark. That, too, I remember vividly as it caused so much fear. You certainly seem to be caring and loving Mom. I'm sure your choice will be the best you can make and I wish you the very best. DDD [/QUOTE]
