[QUOTE="completelydrained, post: 742311, member: 23455"] When my first son became ill with schizophrenia it looked and acted just like drug addiction. I remember my husband and I hoping against all hope that it was. We knew how to deal with that. We knew how to behave toward it. My husband got him a job where he was working, hoping he would make it through the first 30 days to get health insurance because we knew he was going to need it for substance abuse. Then came the day for a random drug test at work. He came out completely clean. And we cried. We cried because we knew we were facing an entire new chapter in our lives with no map to navigate. Once again we were becoming the pioneers in a very large extended family who had no idea where to even begin how to help him. Substance abuse we understood. This? This was the most difficult journey we had ever embarked upon and there is no complete recovery of the person we gave birth to. And now? Now we have to do it again. [/QUOTE]
