Hello, Swtnsxy316. I too had problems with my son and I know how it's like. He hurt me too, many times, and he verbally abused everybody in the house. Surprisingly enough, he did have a lot of friends, and was very nice and sweet to them. What degree of autism does he have? How is he towards his step-brothers? What does your husband think about it? How does he handle him? How does the son behave towards his father? Are you nice and understanding with him, or you've lost your patience already? What medication is he on? When my son was violent and impossible to live with, I've contemplated many times the committing him in an institution, and he was my natural son. I really admire you putting up with this, especially since he's not your own child. Your husband should appreciate this very much. How about the child's mother? Is there any way she could take responsibility? Since when is he ill? Something triggered this? 8 is such a young age for this. It's very noble of you to take responsibility for such a difficult child - but is there no other way? He shouldn't be on your shoulders alone. You shouldn't have to take all this. At least this is how I see it. Do you care for him, or you've had it? Anyway, a big hug from somebody who's been there, and knows...  |
