[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 747611, member: 4152"] Warm welcome! Your post made me tear up. I agree that you can’t compare yourself to others who don’t have adopted children. There are higher risks involved for ADD and ADHD for starters. Our difficult child is adopted. Very generally speaking, we have found that setting boundaries and letting her suffer the consequences of her actions has been helpful. But, there can be some grey areas here and there. Might he be using other drugs? Mightvhe be mentally ill and in need of medication? Please be sure to take extra good care of yourself and your wife. This stuff is profoundly difficult. Your “200 meter” analogy was brilliant and very touching. Please keep posting. [/QUOTE]
