This kids got some serious problems...
Today C-man went to see the psychiatrist.
He immediatly started talking like a baby.
He tried to act like he had no clue why he was there.
He was asked about his mothers drug use and he said that the marijuana he found in her room was really cabbage and he put it in her room.
Whe he was asked about his mother abusing him he said he had no memory of it but when pushed he got mad and said "but it was only a small vacumm she threw at me, only two pounds!".
When asked why he was mad he said that it was because he wanted to stay at his mothers two weeks and his dads two weeks because he doesn't have time to have fun with his friends at his mothers over only a weekend.
In the car on the way there out of the dead silence with Boston playing in the background he said "If I promise to stop lying about you guys, will you promise not to make me get a hair cut? Because I want to grow my hair long.".
The psychiatrist said he doesn't need meds right now but he referred him to a therapist with a PHD. The next appointment is on January 24.
I'm numb with fear for the future.
Are you new here or have you been reading awhile and never left a comment? Please introduce yourself! Lurking is so lonely, we want to meet you!
Man, I'm so sorry to hear all this. How I wish you did not have all these problems and that C-man could just enjoy his childhood. You have been a great mom. Your love and patience has been sorely tested but you have held on. I pray that the love of your husband and yourself will eventually win him over and heal him. God is the great Physician. I can testify that He has brought both physical and psychological healing for me at different times. I will be remembering you and your family in prayer.

You're on the right track with the psychotherapists. It would be so much more helpful if the "other mother" would be more cooperative, but I'm afraid she may be a bigger part of the problem!
Kids just shouldn't have to deal with these types of things.

That is so scary, Squirrel. C-Man is clearly manipulating all those around him, something he probably learnt from his mother.

Hi Squirrel,
At least he is on the road to getting help. He is very mentally unstable. You have given 110% to this kid. Do not beat yourself up. His crazy damn mother did this to him and I know it has to be frustrating as hell not to be able to make some sort of head way. I cannot believe they let this animal have custody of her child. Just because she is the biological mother does not make her a fit mother. I really pray something breaks through. It is time you see some hope and sunshine in your life.
((((hug))))

God, how does any mother live with doing this to a child's head? I am so sorry for you and for him. He doesn't seem to know which end is up. I hope his mom is proud of the work she's done on him.

Its scary when you think about how manipulative he is being at this young age. Hopefully its not too late for him to turn himself around. Hugs for you, girl.

Just hang in there, C-Man was part of the package. You'll pull through.
