 | My son is 9 and was diagnosed with ADHD at age 5 and put on ritalin - he lost weight and Dr took him off after 10 months - after endless sessions with paediatricians, counselling, play therapy and all kinds of other medical professionals who examined him, at age 8 we got a second opinion which was borderline ADD but mostly ODD. His father only sees his son and daughter every other weekend despite the court order providing him liberal access. He is a mini version of his father and have no positive traits. He is selfish, blames others, explosive, verbally aggressive, sensitive, anxious, unable to control his emotions, angry, impatient, complusively obsessed with germs, displays acute paranoid behaviour, cannot make friends easily, has psoriasis of the scalp and is teased at school and, to make our lives worse, hates his stepfather-to-be because he is so strict. My fiancee is at his wits end and is asking me to do something - he has done everything he knows how - I thought I have too and there is no changing him. This is driving a wedge between us as I am in the middle of it being his biological mother and don't know what to do - should I send him to live with his father? Would that be good for his future? He is driving a wedge between me and my fiancee (who has three adorable well behaved young girls whom he dotes on and come to visit us every 2nd night. There is so much more to say here, but my son's behaviour and attitude is so manipulative, disruptive and frustrating in our family life - my 6yr old daughter is copying him. Please HELP>>>>. |
