[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743776, member: 23371"] Adoptive parent also. Had mine in placements more than half his teen years. Tried to put all kinds of guilt on me for it. But I'm teflon about most negatives he puts on me. My question is who has the abandonment issue, you or him? You have guilt about potentially causing him psychological harm. But the other option years ago and even now is to let him continue on a path of self-destruction? That guilt is emotional but not logical. Should be offset by the huge gift you gave him of treatment. Would he still be alive if you hadn't? [/QUOTE]
