[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750586, member: 18958"] Beta. Do you need me to walk you through how the quote thing works? It is so much easier. I have an appointment in a few minutes but I will come back later.My son and I were involved with therapy pretty much continually from the time he was 9 years old. He received school-based services. I did know earlier that there were vulnerabilities. But the thing is, as they develop they also have more freedoms in the teen and young adult years. And new developmental challenges emerge. That's when bipolar or psychosis and mood disorders may emerge. That's when their brains mature to understand their histories, and feeling emerge. All of that is not necessarily bad. They have to come to grips, as do all of us, with the reality and truth of the circumstances of their lives. Not just in an abstract way, but coming to grips with it. With adoption for example, this can be tough. I am almost 40 years older than my son. And I am having to do the same thing. Thank g-d, this recovery of memory, this coming to grips with it, and self-transformation, however painful is a cornerstone of my religion. Beta. You could have done 1 million things differently. And still have arrived at the same place. The place you have arrived is reality, at this moment. This does not mean it is a forever thing. [/QUOTE]
