[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 572227, member: 3388"] dashcat, difficult child 1 is bipolar/Aspie. He stopped taking medications as soon as he left the "nest." While I'm very proud of his accomplishments and how far he's come in a relatively short amount of time, I'm also very worried about him. He self medicates by drinking. It is a ticking time bomb for disaster... Like your difficult child, difficult child 1 is bright, articulate. difficult child 1 has a good heart, a good job, works hard to be able to enjoy a nice apartment, a nice car, lots of "toys," etc... However, he is living life in the fast lane, and sooner or later, I'm afraid he's going to crash... I work hard on staying detached, trying to focus on all the good things he is doing with his life, but it's hard. It breaks my heart if I spend too much time thinking about his drinking. It is so frustrating, painful knowing that he has the potential to lead a wonderful, fulfilling life, but wondering if he'll ever be able to reach that potential... Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best for your daughter, my son, for all of our difficult children... Many hugs... SFR [/QUOTE]
