[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 437382, member: 6705"] Hi there - and welcome! First of all, repeat (aloud) after me: I am NOT a bad mom. I am NOT a bad mom. I am OVERWHELMED. Next... I can't promise we can fix the problem. However, we can be a good sounding board. in the 2.5 years I've been here I have learned more than I ever thought I would. I came here looking for answers on the behavior of my then-13-y/o stepdaughter... And found a lot of information that's helped with my stepson, too. Now for the questions... Was there anything traumatic or major that happened 2 years ago, or is that just when everything swamped you? Who diagnosis'd your son? Has he been in counseling? Has he had a neuropsychological evaluation? Did the officer even ask you what happened? (Unfortunately, a lot of them DO believe that the adults are the problem. UGH.) Has your son attacked you since? What happened then? Has he attacked your husband? I strongly suggest that you go to your library and/or a bookstore and get a copy of "The Explosive Child" by Ross Greene. Some of the stuff in there is useful; different ideas work with different children. So you never know which thing might work, but at the very least, it may help you out (did for me). Also, since you have a newborn - how does your son act around his sister? :hugs: and welcome. I'm glad you found us - but sorry you had to. More people will be along, with their questions and observations. This is a great place. [/QUOTE]
