[QUOTE="overcome mom, post: 753828, member: 23328"] New leaf I am so sorry to hear of your troubles I know you are trying to do the right thing with regards to your grandchildren. I'm sure on some level they feel your love for them. I too have constantly tried to figure out what is wrong with my son... so many therapists, psychiatrist ,treatment centers, books etc. I feel like it is a combination of many things it not just one thing. As I grow older I do feel that a lot of our personality traits are genetic. That our personalities are strongly influenced by the chemicals in our brains, our wiring, our physical make up. I was watching the show Finding Your Roots, there was a person on there who had a relative that had been placed in an "Insane Asylum" and was given the diagnosis of lactation insanity. She had given birth and most likely had post partum depression. Now we know that a good part of the depression is caused by the changing hormones. People are now appalled that she was involuntarily locked up for years for this. I feel that in the future this is how society will look at a good portion of the people that we lock up and those with drug addiction. They will realize that on some level these people have a physiological reason they are the way they are. Hopefully then they can have so better treatment options. I think some of our children will figure out how to live a productive ,happy life and some never will. For me it is trying to be realistic and still have hope. [/QUOTE]
