that is very very tough on everyone involved, and I went thru it at age 4 and believe thats when I develop my personality disorder. I don't know the best solutions but I can maybe help you learn a few dos and don'ts because for a long time my mothers help hurt WAYYYYYY worse, finally she has learned how to approach, but my biggest advice is never make her feel like her thoughts or worries are not important

that is the issue I am having I believe, since its mothers day our routine changes and I normally have him right now, he is such a awesome kid but I am trying to find more ways to cope I think its unfair of me to rely so much on him

Hi you don't rely on him you just love him and miss him when he's not there. Your a great Dad and he'd be thinking of you too. It's fine to feel this way and only natural

You know there's nothing quite like the bond between a Dad and a son. You are such a great Dad and he know's it. You'll always be his Dad and as he gets older his Dad and his very best friend, cherish this I know that you will

Well, it went well, the doctor was really easy to communicate with. I don't get feedback tell his report comes back, he said probably the following Thursday. took about 5 hours, and at the end I took a 587 question personality test, seem very thorough but It was not something I expected or even heard about. I really feel he was thorough enough that I can accept what ever he thinks... just a label anyways but maybe I will be able to figure out what ever I am not doing right to get control. Very Hope-full
