[QUOTE="MommaTried24, post: 765823, member: 33205"] For sure LMS! It hurt me too. I tried so hard and felt like I had been a good parent. I thought he and I were tight for life. It was just the two of us for years. He lost all of his friends at the age of 10 when he started seizing. Everybody was scared to death of him having a seizure. He was always such a good kid and he and I did everything together from that day on. We had a lot of fun vacations and locally went and did everything too. Some really good times. I think his desire to do whatever he wanted because he missed out on so much made him do everything to extreme. Especially the drinking I think out of loneliness too? Never got to ride in cars with friends as a teenager. Always went to ballgames alone. Otherwise, literally at home with me until he was a grown man. Needless to say, he went a bit wild. Obsessed with driving too since he medically wasn't allowed and couldn't get his license. I was probably a controlling parent too. I was more afraid of the epilepsy and the injuries caused by the seizures that made me overprotective too. My mom always said there are no perfect parents. We are all human and you're right, they grew up to make their own choices and decisions. Unfortunately, mothers always suffer the consequences of their negative ones. Rebellion was here too and my home was a power struggle and stressful place too in those later years before he had to leave. I so get what you're saying. [/QUOTE]
