[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 613758, member: 1550"] After reading your post again, especially about the twins, I again am concerned about difficult child. He may not like 17M because he stops him from doing stuff he'd rather do and knows he can't with him there. Also, there are three signs of an impending Conduct Disorder (no conscience child) and they are: unusual pottying habits or peeing/pooping inappropriate (this is the least important), a fascination with fire or firesetting and cruelty to animals (our child acted as if he loved animals unless we weren't there and then he would torture them, even the neighbor cat. We found out lots of stuff from our younger kids AFTER he left.) The story of the adoption of the twins defies imagination. Can we say pressure????? I thought we, as adoptive parents, were told to only commit to adopting children we truly felt ready to parent? No pressure? Its up to us???? At any rate, at least there is lots of hope for the twins. Personally, I worry about your husband as he is really burying his head in the sand, which must make you feel even more alone. I'm really sorry about that. I think the psychiatrist was smart to have you tell difficult child that he can't do unsafe things or he will have to live away from you. I hope it makes him think twice.
