[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 549529, member: 11791"] MWM... I won't trade shoes for walking in, and haven't dealt with this in an adult... But for my difficult child, a list of subtle missed dxes was literally killing him. He actually CANNOT do what was being asked of him. Even now, when his peers have part-time and summer jobs, there's no way he can handle it. We fully expect he'll be closer to 25 before he is launched. However - having said that - if the problems don't get caught and addressed while they are still young enough that you have some say in the matter... what happens next becomes a very real dilemma. And I know intimately situations where the anger was taken as primary and the depression was downplayed by professionals, and... all we have left is a gravesite. This is not a guaranteed outcome. There is just no way to know for sure where the road will lead. Sometimes a hardline approach works... sometimes it doesn't. There is no easy or right answer. I really feel for parents who have to deal with these problems in adult children. [/QUOTE]
