[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 391094, member: 1550"] I think we need to know more about your son to help you. If you could answer a few questions, this would help us a lot. The "kill him with a chainsaw" comment to me is a bit of a red flag. 1/Is there any psychiatric problems on either side of your child's GENETIC family tree. This includes Dad, even if he has never met his Dad because Dad contributed 50'% of his genes to this child. This includes Aunt Lucy who had a "nervous breakdown." Did anyone abuse substances including alcohol in his genetic family tree. All of these are clues. 2/In his early years did he cuddle nicely and make good eye contact with you and with strangers? Did he have any obsessions or quirky behaviors. Does he know how to get along with his same age peers and does he do interactive play with them? Does he use toys appropriately (then and now)? 3/Have you taken him for an evaluation at any point in time? I think there are enough red flags to warrant an evaluation. Until you have some idea of why he is who he is...what makes him tick...if he has any disorder...it is hard for us to advise you. He is not responding to normal parenting techniques. Does he have any nightmares or trouble sleeping or anxiety? I'm just fishing here...I just don't know enough. Although I do think he could be copying Brian, I don't think that's the gist of it. Many bullied kids (and this didn't go on for too long) DON'T bully other kids. I think this is just part of who you son is. I am using the behavior you described at home as well and trying to get a picture of this boy. 4/What is the family situation like? Has anybody ever abused him or did he see abuse? Was the home situation ever volatile? You don't mention a father...I am assuming his father doesn't live there. But maybe I"m wrong. Are you a single parent? Welcome to the board but sorry you have to be here. [/QUOTE]
