[QUOTE="jgreen03, post: 111628, member: 4438"] I did read your message. And thank you. I think my situation is reversed with my difficult child. I think has pschological problems and needs help, however the medically system keeps pushing him away saying he has no problems. But I can see it in his eyes when he ready to go off his deep end. I also think the pot use is his way of self medicating. He has told me once before that he likes to smoke because it quiets everything down for him. I was working with a therapist who thought maybe he could be bipolar type 2. We did see a pschiatrist and he thought he was fine. I don't think he is. I know he has a strong family history of pschological issues and drug and alcohol additions. Both mine and his fathers family. Including his father who is a recovering addict now for 16 years. I for so long I tried to talk to difficult child about it telling him its in his genes and he really needs to watch out for it. I know for my own sake that I don't drink or anything else for the same reason. I get hooked. Mine was more pain pills. I would just take them to take them. So I do understand how he feels and any other addict feels. Its just so complicated. I did talk to his biodad today and things are going good. And he likes being with his dad. I was just telling biodad what difficult child options are for his future. That all is not lost and he can rebuild. He is not in that much trouble. It is just hard to be his mom from such a distance. I could go on and on. Thanks for reading finding this site has really helped. And to hear postive stories that things can work out. Really gives me hope. JMS [/QUOTE]
