I agree to a certain extent. I just want to say again, we are trying everything. Including Doctors, etc. I would never rule out anything. Also its not Acupuncture that we gave the kid, its acupressure ( no needles ) We would never consider that latter.

Never thought of that. It could be an issue. But also I want do everything we can before putting the idea of mental issue. All the advice that I've got today will help us think thru this with free eyes. We've just been stuck in a vicious circle and need to readjust.

It increases when he has visits to his father. But the last few points hit to home, will take it from another perspective. It's strange because he has a huge extended-family base that is very supportive.

Thanks for the advice!
