[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 747279, member: 15032"] I honestly thought something was seriously wrong with our son too. I really did. But he was a normal and wonderful child until the teen years but they say some mental illnesses come out around that time so who knew? That is the hardest part of all of this. He had many jobs and would come home all excited and then he'd go back down the rabbit hole. I guess until he was away from his family and had to tow the line on his own, he really had no desire to change one iota. It was not sustainable. I am just glad that I didn't throw in the towel and not push him to change as hard as I could from my vantage point. It was if you do not, then your momma won't be around. You will not have a family. Sounds awful doesn't it? Somehow for us it all worked out and he now has had a chance to mature and deal with things drug free - when he was in his program - so I know we are very fortunate but there are other good stories on this forum too. Certainly no perfect solution or one size fits all advice. [/QUOTE]
