I am up way too eary in the morning for this kind of reading but I am up because my baby won't sleep...normal for us crazy parents that adopt the damaged goods.
I read your blog...and let me say first, I am sorry!!! ((HUGS))
Second, you need serious help, not now but yesterday...do you have a therapist? Reading your blog made me cry. At first I was angry because you are so negative toward your son but I know how hard it can be. Our kids take so much effort and energy and never give back. but they still need love.
Next, from what little you described your son has FAE you should read more about this and maybe give some meaning to your son's little quirks.
And yes, he probably has RAD...as well as other issues but I have a hard time with the psychopath label, it seems so old fashion and all encompassing...you need real answers not labels.
Last, you need help....do you have acess to family counseling for you and your wife? Also, do you know where to get real help for your son? I am assuming you adopted him through the state foster system, they have emergency counseling for situations like this and they can give you more information on the kind of help you need. Also don't forget a regular doctor visit...a good physician now has loads of information for you and your family and they can give you referrals for specialists your son needs and that will be covered under your insurance. Don't give up now...that kid needs you more than ever. He needs love and understanding...this means you need support for you and your wife.
