[QUOTE="DDD, post: 473016, member: 35"] We used depakote for awhile and there was no high from it. I hope your meeting goes well with the PO. As far as "respect", I don't think his definition is the same as yours. In the system and on the streets the expression is used to meant as someone who is "hard" as opposed to "soft". Peer definition of that word doesn't mean deferring to a parent's position of authority. Frankly I don't see most of our difficult child's deferring to parents. on the other hand they can learn not to "disrespect" or "be disrespectful". That is the best, in my humble opinion, that you can hope for. difficult child's place themselves in position #1 all the time. I don't think your expectations should be higher than that. He sees himself as a man. If and when he comes home I hope he doesn't "buck". I hope he can share life with you and that you all will have some happy times. DDD [/QUOTE]
