[QUOTE="AHF, post: 409624, member: 11180"] Isn't part of the problem that supposedly the brain comes to maturation sometimes around the age of 25, but that IF the problem is not one of maturation, IF we're talking about psychopathology or something else that will haunt our difficult children and us and their families all their lives, failing to address it BEFORE the age of 25 is pretty much a guarantee that the uphill battle after that point will be so steep as to be nigh impossible? I have a friend with an addict son whom she supports via a therapist-on-call setup and an apt etc.--and good for her, she's wealthy so she can afford years of this--and she says he is now, at the age of 28, starting to come around. But the opposite could just as easily have been true, that she hemmorhaged $$ in the hope of his maturation only to find that cutting him off at 23 wold have been the wiser course. [/QUOTE]
