[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 693979, member: 11791"] Normally, there is a HUGE development curve between 13 and 23. But. That assumes "normal" development. Addictions tend to delay development. If they get clean/sober, after a few years, some of that missing development catches up. It is likely that he is developmentally stunted at this point. Most of what you see is the addict (even if it's alcohol, its still addiction), not the real person. I don't think it's unreasonable to not want anything to do with the addict. Once the real person shows up and does a bit of growing up... then you can evaluate. [/QUOTE]
