I am having difficulties with my ten year old son. Please help?

I have a little boy who has emotional problems. He has been ill for quite a while, He is hurt over his father walking out when he was only a few months old and never getting to know him. He has never seen him. He is hurt because the only man he knew as "dad" walked out on us after 6 years. As soon as "dad" and I had a baby, "dad" stopped paying attention to my son and only gives the attention to his daughter. I have had to quit my job because of my sons illness and now work out of my home doing daycare for the past 9 years. I have came close to losing my house because of the financial problems of all of the above. I have taken my son to therapists and am having no luck, I feel like my son is spiraling downwards and don't know what to do to help him. Instead of allowing me to help him, he acts out towards me. Any advice? I can go into more details with personal emails. I can't live like this anymore and do not want him to go to a foster home. I can't stand the heartache anymor

Answers:
Oh my goodness, you need help right away. Not just for your son, but for you too. You need to make a fresh start. I understand why you are so worried. And I am sure you are exhausted too. If you have little family support, please go to a therapist yourself. Make a plan to deal with situation. There are specialists in child psychology. If you have been going to the regular kind of therapists, you need a person trained in this field. Have a doctor (MD) give you a referral. Tell them it is a crisis and you fear for your son's well being. You need to get some action on this as soon as you can before your own health implodes.

i, sorry
