[QUOTE="Suz, post: 110414, member: 29"] jmama, thanks for adding your signature. You don't mention any diagnosis's for your son. Has he been evaluated at any point? Tried medication? What/when/why? From your description it's my guess that there is a strong possibility of several disorders in your family tree - I hope that doesn't offend - it's pretty common for these things to be genetically linked and addiction is a pretty major sign of self-medicating. For what it's worth, I found that it was better to just tell the truth. You don't need to go into detail and if anyone presses, just tell them you don't want to discuss it further. The stress and strain of keeping it hidden (or who have you told what to) when Rob was at his Residential Treatment Center (RTC) was way more than answering a few questions. I sure don't blame you for not wanting to host the dinner again next year! YIKES! Suz [/QUOTE]
