Dobs, that is horrible that his dad would treat him like that!
As for sitting alone, are the other kids simply to loud for him? A probably knows a fairly quiet home/environment at home.
As for the getting angry easily, kids do have to learn ways to express themselves. Before it was tears or smiles and all of a sudden we expect them to say yes or no with a smile. That's a whole new concept.
We very early on started pointing out body parts and when he starts refusing food we say "belly full?" and hell repeat, food goes away. or when putting on his PJs "bye bye belly" and he gets that concept.
A lot of my training comes from dog training, and honestly a lot of those concepts are transferable. If the lesson just isnt understood, break it down into easier bits, teach one piece at a time until such a time that you can add the pieces of the whole concept together again. As a teacher you know what I mean.
A brilliant dog trainer is Monique anstee, shebwrote a book called "as a dog thinketh" and just about every time she says dog, you might as well read child. Her background is child psychology before she started dog training. I know her personally and is absolutely brilliant.
Shae: what about those stick on nails or stickers or whatever they are called?
We just did our Costco and superstore run. Afterwards L was hungry and tired, so I gave him a few crackers. We'll he fell asleep with a cracker still half way sticking out of his mouth....

you'll have to share pics.
so even though the dr said there's nothing i can do, i have been trying to eat more meat & greens and taking supplements and will continue to do that. Next draw is in 4-5 weeks so fx levels stay up or increase!
I totally hear u on the non-sleeping thing though, he wakes as you stir & vice-versa, i had this with Riley, he actually slept better in his own room but i know the CIO thing was said to avoid, A will get better with age most definately but i feel for you right now, if your mum offers to have him overnight, even though she may be tired, maybe let her one eve over w wknd & catch up on some zzzZ's? Does you Mum work at wknds? 
but i feel like it must be lower (but maybe still normal range). I'm having that run down feeling again. Idk. Anywho they think they may be low outside of pregnancy but the only labs they have are from when I was pregnant and when I had mono...so we'll see. Hopefully it's not an issue and if it is, only a minor one.
