Some backstory...

I adopted Gavin over a year ago but have raised him since he was about 1 year old. His biological father is an addict and alcoholic. He abused my wife (gavins mother).

Gavin suffers from aspergers syndrom, bipolar disorder, ptsd (suffered at the hands of his bio dad and grandmother),sensory integration disorder, ocd, adhd and conduct disorder. His short life has been very dificult for him. We have had the best doctors and therapists working with him for many years. No one has really seen a cases as complex as Gavin.

He used to be a sweet, quiet little boy. Now he is growing into a sexually aggressive, very violent manipulator. We are constantly fighting to keep him grounded in reality. Everyones fear is that he is growing into a sociopath. He doesn't appear to have a conscience as he is only "sorry" if he get's caught.

I don't know what happened. We have fought so hard for him. All we want is for him to reach his potential and be happy.
We loved him and cared for him as best we could. All of his doctors have told us that we have done absolutly everything we could have. This may just be who Gavin is.
