[QUOTE="CAmom, post: 40472, member: 1835"] Karen, I do believe it was a combination of his own expectations and his perception of being pressured by his dad and me, although we were really only trying to reinforce his own positive plans. He called last night, but, when I asked him what happened between afternoon and night time to cause him to feel so low and risk so much, he only said that was "a lot of things" and that he'd talk with us the next time we had private time together. He said that, in the meantime, he was talking to his therapist and working things out, and I feel that that is what is most important. I'm very happy that he's opened up so much to his therapist as he wouldn't buy into therapy at home. I know this has helped him very much as far as putting some of his issues (particularly related to adoption and hugely dysfunctional birth parents who bulldozed their way into his life without his or our desire or consent a year or so ago)into perspective. I think ongoing therapy is going to be essential for him for the forseeable future, particularly when he's back home, to help him weather the ups and downs in life. [/QUOTE]
