Guest guest Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 So for awhile I've known there was something different about my son. I have 2 daughters from a previous marriage. One daughter who is 17 lives in Florida with her dad and one who is 13 lives with me in mass. During the summer my daughter went to visit her dad and sister and decided that she wanted to stay with her father because she found a boy friend. Of course this was traumatic to me but it sent my son Noah over the edge. He started confessing these random things to me 4- 6 times an hour. He would say things like, " a year ago I looked up on the computer naked.com, But I dont do that anymore. The look on his face would be very concerned. Or things like, I think I showed my private parts to the neighbor kid. But I don't do that anymore. This went on for days. My daughter came home and now wants to stay again...teenagers! But I will be going to court in florida at some point because my ex-husband is trying to change custody. Anyway, I was so concerned about Noah I took him to children's hospital in Boston emergency. The social worker talked to us and Noah and said he needs CBT therapy. After our visit to children's Boston Noah's confessions decreased. I found a therapist and he has seen him 3 times. Well, Noahs babysitter who has watched him since he was 2 told me she has to go to Germany for 1 month because her brother is dying. Noah freaked out and the confessions have returned. He will say things like, " how do I know I don't really want to kill my dad? " or just confess things. Has anyone else experienced this? Once he tells me he seems ok for a little while. This is very difficult since he is only 7 and can't really explain what is happening. His whole life he has had to count things over and over. We thought he was just smart. He was obsessed with watches and calculators. Anything with numbers. He has somewhat grown out of that. Has anyone else here ever had a child this young with these weird thoughts? Sometimes he cries and says he can't get them out of his mind! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
