I can't answer your question, sorry. Just wanted to give you a hug ((((OGR)))))

So if this is long I apologize in advance.

We found out a year and a half ago he was diagnosed ADD at age 6 or 7. His parents decided no drugs and their solution was to let him be outside as much as possible. If he didn't do as he was told he was spanked. I say spanked loosely. He was beat with wooden spoons til they broke. He was beat with cedar shingles. Switches. Yelled at for hours at a time. He remembers being yelled at for 5 hours straight once when he was about 12. And yet his mother congratulates herself that he's never been in jail. She thinks she was an awesome parent. 

A year and a half ago he  was going to be evaluated by a psycologist(I think) after being told by a counselor(he went twice to the counselor so he wouldn't lose his job) and a general physician that he might want to be evaluated. His appointment was on Monday- he lost his job the preceding Friday and we couldn't afford to send him without insurance. Then he tried to get mental health  benefits through the VA but somehow we weren't low income enough. About two and a half months ago he was evaluated for a clinical trial for ADD adults.(he was unemployed) He was to go back for an intensive 5 hour testing session but he got a job that started that day. 

And so after typing that I have some ideas. I will see if mental health benefits are covered under our current insurance. If so I think he will be less resistant. 

Thanks everyone for the input.

Oh I will try to keep him gluten free and see if that helps. :)

Thanks, Kev. I started looking up counselors for me and that's jow I stumbled upon BPD. I will think on your suggestion.

this isn't about atheism at all. it's about your anger at your mother for being ill. maybe instead of trying to pull the rug out from under your mom, you could deal with your attachment and abandonment issues.

I agree with this sentiment.

If you don't like to be touched, how are you going to get married and have sex?

I think it would really hurt to hear my touch made someone feel dirty and disgusting. :(

I'd love it if my kid could learn to get beer out of the fridge and bring it to Dad, at least once he learns to walk

Yes, you must have priorities, :)
