Okay, hopefully I remember what I am trying to point out here!

Anthony (God I have a hard time spelling that!):

I have a different doctor now. The two that did breach are NOT allowed to even peek at my file or they lose their licsence; however, that doesn't mean I trust doctors! I'm not sure if I ever will again.

I know that no matter the type of PTSD it's not curable but can be controlled. I'm sorry if I gave the impression otherwise! Both therapists have confirmed that.

PTSD is not a common label here. In fact it's very rare. We both have had test after test that we had to do, along with numerous interviews about reactions, the situations etc... They have really taken their time with this one...

Matt did not recieve continous therapy! In fact his first therapist was a joke. The only thing they would talk to Matt about was his "feelings" as in making sure he could identify them. Therapy was less then six months. After that I fought with CAS for MONTHS over this case. They just kept repeating the mantra that without evidence (Matt refused to talk to them or the police) there was nothing they could do. Then the schools kept trying to slap the ADD or ADHD label on my son. I fought them on that. I even went throught two years of tests and appointments and had the final report sent to the school board stating " there are NO SIGNS of ADD or ADHD" before they would drop it. Ealier this year, Matt made a false report to the police and started getting in trouble at school. So, I went back to FACS and demanded counselling AGAIN. Matt's therapist just moved here from the States. He's brand new (as in no politics involved) to our area and has worked with children like Matt before. He's great! He is going to do long term therapy with Matt.

I believe that Matt living with me with uncontrolled PTSD for his entire life predispensed him to it. However, the abuse is what caused it. His symptoms began shortly after I left that abusive:cussing: . I have no idea if the therapists or anyone else agrees with that. But, I taught Matt how to react (and I don't react well.) So, in my line of thinking, with the abuse... I could be way off but that's what I think. (maybe I'm just guilting myself??? negative thinking process???)

Hope I didn't miss any points there..
