Adoption issues
It’s no secret that I have a bad relationship with my 3 year old step son. I’ve posted about it on here, I talk to my mom and sister about it often. I google like a crazy person seeking answers on his behavioral issues, defiance, and what I can do to help him. I pray for patience. But it’s at the point where I don’t know why I’m doing it anymore. My husband adopted him last summer, and fostered him for a while before that. I have no doubt that he loves him, but it’s becoming clear to me that adoption probably wasn’t a good idea. I don’t want this to be too long so I won’t get into every detail, just what the big issues are. He’s aggressive. He’s punched me in the face, and in the stomach, and last week kicked me in the stomach (I’m 38 weeks pregnant). Yesterday at daycare he punched multiple teachers in the face, slapped kids, jumped on kids. And has in the past few months, chocked kids, slammed them into walls, drew blood etc. He’s punched my 2 year old daughter in the face, pushes her, breaks her toys, and is constantly mean to her. He sends my anxiety through the room every time he comes home. Aside from all that. My husband can’t stand him. He has moments where I can see he loves him and wants to be a dad. But sometimes he tells me he regrets adopting him. Yesterday he yelled at him and said “Do you want me to give you to another fucking family? I don’t know if I can do this.” This isn’t the first time he’s said something like this to my step son. It’s mean and it’s harsh and I do feel bad. But I also understand. Every single day I wish there was somebody out there to reclaim him. My husband said to me out of the blue a weeks or so ago “I feel like you’d be happier if we didn’t have him” I said “I try not to think about that” and he said “I think about it a lot”. I feel like he’s waiting for me to agree, to say that I can’t do it either, that I can’t stand him. But I just can’t, I can’t give my husband a reason to blame it on me when it’s obvious that it’s a decision he needs to make. He got drunk last month and vented to me about it, and he said “but what am I supposed to do, sign away my rights?” I have no idea what to do anymore. I need to think about the safety of my family, our happiness. I also need to think about this child. Is this the right environment for him? It doesn’t feel like it. Not just for our sakes but his. Please someone help me. I’m 20 years old, I’ve only ever raised one child and it’s my own for 2 years. I’m new to this and am lost and scared and worried for my family.
False positive?
Girls I’m confused bit of background basically I have pcos and I had a baby girl in August last year my periods returned for November and December I put on a lot of weight 4 stone, so started mounjaro less than 6 months ago but still no period after a 2 and half stone loss, before pregnancy I’d lost a lot of weight and had regular periods for a year, anyway I like to test before injecting as a precaution period or not and I’ve had a positive digital, is this a false positive or too early to pick up on the normal test?
