[QUOTE="asldogs, post: 432701, member: 12055"] I chose to adopt my son because his record and social worker expressed the least amount of challenges compared to all the other kids I was considering. He was taken away from his birth mom at age 7 or 8 by his bio grandmother. He had structure nuturing and good home with grandma for about 3 years before she asked the state to take him into fostercare. He moved out and into a group home when I met him. His grandma is still very actively involved in our lives, from a different state. My son does not display any physical abuse or violence, but can be very verbally abusive. I do worry about him damaging property or stealing for revenge. I do worry that he is gradually headed into that dark place of drugs, alcohol, sex addiction and jail. I have not seen any signs of drugs or alcohol, yet but he has had an ongoing issue with what I would call sex addiction. He was caught sexting, internet porn and multiple girlfriends. I think I already posted he got one of the girls, age 15, pregnant and she chose to abort. He dumped her as soon as she told him she was pregnant. He absolutely refused to discuss it with anyone. Not even his therapist. if the subject was brought up, he got defiant and angry. Now that he is 18, we all are warning and reminding him that if he touches a girl under the age of 18, he will be arrested with molestation or rape. That is my prediction... he will be sexually active with an underage girl, her parents will file charges and he will go to jail. I mourn who he was when I adopted him. I mourn who he could be. He is such a brilliant young man with a great sense of humor and can have very mature intellectual discussions. He has (had?) a passion and talent for music. He has a beautiful singing voice. Anyway, I think the hardest part of all this is I grieve the loss of my son and who he has the potential to be. With all that said, I have reached my threshold and will not live with him anymore. I have too much respect for myself to tolerate how he takes advantage of me and disrespects me now. I am a very patient calm individual... but can't do it anymore. Won't do it anymore. This group has helped me not feel so alone. I had no idea how many other parents have experienced similar situations. ASLdogs [/QUOTE]
