Well as you probably know my son's father decided to cease all contact with my son.
If you don't know, In January my son said that his step brothers held a knife to his throat and threatened to kill him. I had him at the ER 3 times in January and on the last time he told the doctors and nursed about it and they got social services involved. His dad didn't believe him. Social services interviewed him, then a few weeks later they interviewed him again with a dectective present because one of the boys was 14. They also went and interviewed my X and his step sons and wife. After that the case closed the case because they said there was not enough proof and the stories from both sides were different. Of course the step sons would deny it. They have done stuff to my son in the past like hitting him over the head with a plastic sword and he had to have staples, writing obscene things on his back, and he says his step mom is mean and stuffs socks down his throat and won't feed him when his dad isn't there. These are some of the reasons why I believe him about the knives.

So yesterday the 6th of July was my son's 10th birthday(which we made a big deal about and gave him lots of attention and fun) and his dad didn't even call him. He is such a jerk. I am remarried and I have been with my husband for 6 years. He loves my kids and does anything for them. My kids love him too. My son has a close relationship with my husband(his step-dad) but he is still having a really hard time about his dad.

I am wondering if I should ask his doctor to let us take a med break from the concerta and take an anti depressant or if he can take them together. It breaks my heard to look at his sad face.
