[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724075, member: 1550"] I am so sad for you and my heart breaks. I have not had the heroin experience, although I did have one child who took scary drugs and quit, but I am unique in that I had a child, like you, who seemed difficult from Day One and still is. He is 40 and nicer than he was in his 30s, but still not really that nice. I wont talk to him for three days if he abuses me verbally. My son is not as extreme as your son, but drugs are not involved. But he was never that sweet little boy everyone talks about. I did not know first hand what a sweet little baby/toddler was like until I adopted three other kids and THEY were all such sweet little ones. We have mean people in my family tree. I truly believe Son was dealt some DNA that makes life hard for him. He also always seemed to lack empathy. I can only imagine how he would have been on drugs. I believe my son who is now 40 has narcicistic traits, like my dad. My mother was very mean to me. Borderline traits there. I think my moms brother had narcicistic traits. I have a mood disorder. Mood disorders dont cause meanness...I am not sure your son doesnt have a personality disorder. I have been in the mental health community since 23 and now I am 64. I am doing well, but have seen how hard it is for any professional to diagnose a mental health disorder since there are no blood tests...it is all a matter of the professionals's best guess. Ten mental health professionals may diagnose ten different disorders. I am sorry your son is this way and now an addict. You matter. If gou must detach, do it. It doesnt have to be forever. Take care of yourself. You sure can not count on this son if you get ill! Do you have other loved ones who are good to you? Spouse, other kinder kids, siblings? I thank God each day for my kind loved ones. I hope you have some too. [/QUOTE]
