This may sound mean but I am really at wits end. I have custody of my son from a previous marriage. His dad is a complete loser. Ever since he was 6 wks old, my mom has babysat him. He is now nine, she still watches him, in fact he stays with her most of the week for school and conveniences do to that. I'm now remarried and he is no longer the only child which really bothers him. He's also ADHD. He is extremely close to my mom and when he is home with me, he'll go to the neighbors house and make up stories of abuse, so that he can get his own way and go back to my moms. He has called the police twice now and told them lies. If this continues....I fear that my baby girls will be taken from me because he is a convincing liar.
I have been giving serious thought to just washing my hands of him completely and giving him up to my mother. Any thoughts? Does anybody know how to give up parental rights? Advice please. I'm emotionally drained from all this.

take him to a doctor and only a lawyer can tell you your rights but try every thing else before you do that

book stores have tons and tons of info on this...go and read. at 9 its time for after school activities..he could be bored and needs friends. adhd comes from watching toooo much tv. tv is an easy babysitter. maria18 with beautiful lips is right. never give up on your children! take courses, counseling, etc anything nanny911 is a good show.

PLEASE NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR CHILD MOST KIDS WITH ADHD MAKE UP STORIES. I KNOW B/C MY SON IS ADHD. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH HIM, BUT I AM HIS MOTHER AND I GAVE BIRTH TO HIM I WOULD NEVER GIVE UP ON ANY OF MY 4 KIDS, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE 18, 19, 20, 27. REMEMBER YOU ARE THE PARENT. I THINK WHAT WOULD BE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR SON IS TO GO TO COUNSELING TOGETHER, SO IN THE FUTURE IT WILL BE WRITTEN DOWN ON HOW HE LIES ALL THE TIME. ANOTHER THING THAT WOULD BE GOOD FOR HIM IS TO TAKE UP A SPORT TO LET SOME STEAM COME OUT OF HIM. GOOD LUCK GIRL I KNOW WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH. PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR SON, B/C WHEN HE GETS A LOT OLDER HE MIGHT HATE YOU FOR IT.

Counseling, including family (all of you) counseling is in order.
Don't give up on him. Remember your mother did most of the parenting until now and he is going through some huge changes in his life with you - when you were rarely there before. It will take him time to adjust and accept.

please listen to me!! don't give him up because it will scar him for life!! he'll think that you don't love him and to a child that can be devastating. take him out for a fun activity and take your mom too. try having fun just the three of you. then, continue having fun together but sometimes just try being alone with him. he'll learn to love you back and stop lying to the police. please try it!! and never give up on a child.
