[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 699445, member: 1550"] I am so sorry. I do think he needs to be in a safe place. Maybe residential treatment really is the best idea. Reality is reality. It seems the only way for him to he safe while you live a normal life, which you deserve, is to house him where he can be watched 24/7 plus get treatment. Visit him when you can. You may have to lower your expectations about how often you can see him. Use the phone. Contact him often. There is no way to keep him totally safe if he isn't in a facility that can watch him all the time, not have him have access to sharp objects or electrical wiring or roads with cars. I'm thinking cps may offer foster care, bUT don't see how any other family can keep him safe either. Is there a dad around? Other children?Did Son have an early history of irregular parenting, abuse, chaos, divorce or adoption? I am wondering about attachment disorder or a birthmother who drank or used drugs while pregnant. That can mess with the frontal lobe of the brain. It sounds to my mom instinct like he really can not control his behavior. I feel in my opinion that his behavior is too extreme for him to just be looking for attentuon. Has he ever seen a neuro psychologist? They do gold star, intensive evaluating. Who diagnosed your son? How many hours of testing did they do to come yo their diagnostic concludion? Any mental illness, neurological differences or addiction on either side of his DNA tree, even if he never lived with his father? He still has 50% of father's DNA. Hugs for your hurting heart. Remember, you deserve to live a life too. It doesn't help your son one bit if you are miserable. [/QUOTE]
