Tomorrow is Younger Boy's second psychiatric evaluation to confirm or argue the findings of the first.

I am learning so much about mental illness.  I get angry about all of the things that go on with these boys, because of choices that weren't theirs.  The consequences are and that stinks.

Younger Boy is looking at possible diagnosis of:

fetal alcohol syndrome (NOS)
ADHD
reactive attachment disorder
oppositional defiant disorder
conduct disorder
borderline personality disorder
gender identity disorder (NOS)

Those are a lot of tags.  They overlap a lot.  They are going to make life hard.

Can I help him?  What is my role in his life?
