This is sad to me. I wish there was a way to have the knowledge to help our kids through this kind of thing without counting on school officials and doctors who may have an agenda. EDIT--that emoticon was really not right.

From my own perspective. My ex and I were divorced when my son was 2 (13 now). I got full custody of all three, but he was the youngest and was really attached to his mother. I was in the army and deployed most of his young life up to this point.

He was angry about it. Very angry and he was so young when it happened that he didn't even know he was angry. Those feeling showed in him acting up, being angry and depressed about things that didn't matter all the time.

Docs and school officials insisted that I put him on meds but all he really need was to be able to excersise his anger. He is a naturally sensetive kid who easily has his feeling hurt but overall he has worked through the issues he had with love and understanding.

I know this doesn't help your situation but I just wanted to say, stay in there and fight the good fight.
