[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 743119, member: 18958"] LBL. As I read your update summary I feel that the three of you, with the treatment team have put together a platform of truth and integrity and love and support. It is helpful to know what is Evan's baseline psychological functioning. Looking back at the worst, when he was out and about, one can almost see the underlying influence of ADHD and borderline tendencies fueling impulsive choices and acting against the thinking and restraint that would have supported good ones. Or looked at another way, maybe he self-medicated. Can we ever know about the past? But you do know now. And so does he. Oh how wonderful to have your loving son back. Isn't this what we really long for, and crave? These life choices and prioritizing are hard FOR ME, at my life stage. That he is thinking through options and wanting and intentions in a serious and deliberative way that is heartening. You seem to be on the same path. Through trial and error trying to find a fit in work that supports you and gives you your life and does not take it away. I don't know how you do it, but you do. It is so good you are back. And that your news is so good. PS I hope E's charges are dismissed. And prayers for a new, easier job that is just a job--9 to 5 preferably that you can leave there at the end of the shift. Thank you for checking in. [/QUOTE]
