left by birth parents (my brother) at age 1, adopted by me & my husband, birth father entered his life, told him he was his dad, then exited his life again, I separated then divorced my husband, my kids and I moved to another town/school, and now we're both getting remarried (not to eachother). He also has ADHD and is on meds. He's recently asking lots of questions about his birth parents. Sees his dad(adoptive) everyother weekend but is angry and giving him a very hard time leaving his house. Transitions are difficult. He's angry, moody, frequent temper tantrums (mostly with his dad), cries, screams, hits, throws things. He steals things and lies. These behaviors are not every day behaviors. He is a loving, helpful, artistic, thriving boy. School and sports are good outlets for him although he's not always on task and sometimes finds it hard to focus. We're seeking counseling but are on a waiting list and it will be a couple months before we can get him in. Help please..
