Thank you, theotterone. I am in therapy and we are going to put the kiddo in therapy, too. My T is awesome about whoever coming into the session with me, so if needed, we can all go in at the same time.

My step-son is on meds, Ritalin, but we are going to have him completely re-evaluated up here because the Dr.s at Kaiser are horrible at caring for their patients.

I agree, if the meds work, fine...but if they don't...then there is no reason for him to be on them. It is super obvious when he does take them because he becomes zombie like. I hate it! He is like a zombie for a couple of hours. He won't eat and is too mellow to play or do anything.

He is going to need some serious social help. He can't make friends easily. He doesn't have any close friends and if he does make them, he can't keep them because of his behavior.

I am going to have to be very careful and take your advice....take care of ME when I need to.
