[QUOTE="Blueknight, post: 569870, member: 15054"] Yes the job doesn't help. Dealing with others problems, or dark times along with your own is tough. Sometimes I think I just get a bad take on how he is doing. His mother, in the past, has only told me about how he has messed up or done something bad. I don't hear about the times that he is doing anything good, which I assume he has to do something right! When he comes for visits, aside from some temper issues and cursing, he has not gotten physically violent or destroyed anything while around me. A friend told me today that I need to start thinking about a better future outcome for him, like going to college and getting a good job. Instead, I tend to envision the worst possible outcome and dwell on it. I understand that there are a huge amount of kids out there with mental health issues and they don't end up doing these horrible things. I think these forums need a success story *aka* Happy Endings section! I appreciate all the feedback and thanks slsh for the input. I do need to remember he is still a young kid, has a lot of growing to do, and hopefully with benefit from his numerous therapy sessions. The info on your 20y/o helps people like me to be hopeful of a good future. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
