Oh my God -  I'm sorry to hear that you are homeless.  But it is not your fault - don't think that your son is not getting along with the other kids.  It's not the ideal situation for anyone..  

  No wonder he is having problems getting along with the other kids - they have all probably had very hard lives..  How old is your son?

[brendarios]

maybe because we moved from our house due to domestic violence. and we are homeless, everything its diferent and i think im not being a good mom because of me living my husband my kids are homeless, thats why my son behavior is not the same, since we are in a shelter

Why do you think its your fault?

If your child is not used to being around other children, he may be jealous, same goes for the other child.  My nephew is not used to kids because he is an only child, and whenever he is around my son, he takes his toys, hits him, and is really mean to him.  Age also plays a factor in this.  Does your son have any siblings?  Are they the same gender?  These questions play a factor also.  You are not a bad mom.  You dont have to worry about that.  It is just your son not being happy with the other child.  It may take awhile to get him used to the other child.  There is so many reasons he could be acting this way.  If he is old enough, try talking to him and asking him what it is he doesnt like about the other kid.  Good luck to you, and I hope this helped you out.
