[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 225815, member: 1436"] I think most of our children's issues are innate. My son was raised in the same environment as his older brother and younger sister. His choices in life have been his choices. However, I think there is something in his brain that is wired differently that affects his choices. Does he know they are wrong? Yes. Can he help it? I wish I knew the answer, but often I think no. Somehow I don't think our children, if they could help it, would live the lives they live. It is not easy to be "different." He rages, then apologizes. Can he stop the rage? No, not once it starts. Can he control it. Now that he is older and knows it is unacceptable, he can keep himself in check, but his reactions to simple everyday problems are often way out of line with a normal reaction. He sees his brother and sister living their lives and know that they are meeting success because of the choices they have made. He thinks it is easier for them. He gets that he is different. And he struggles everyday trying to make different choices. But it is a struggle. [/QUOTE]
