[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 755963, member: 18958"] My son lived his first 22 months in a crisis nursery without a primary caretaker. We were very bonded, and we still are. What did change was that my son did become like Beta's son, for a long time, but then little by little his heart and empathy seem to be coming back. When he got cold hearted and distant, it was the hardest thing. Since he moved out he has contacted me once, text or call I don't remember, and that was because I believe he wanted to come back. When I dropped by where he was living, he was angry and rejecting. But he made the point to tell me he was taking his antivirals, and had rescheduled the neuropsychological exam, things he knows cause me a great deal of concern. I was grateful for this. And then he texted me to apologize for how he behaved and to tell me he loves me. Clearly, this is no reason to have a parade and start waving from the float, but it is something. The point I want to make is that I don't think it's possible to come to ironclad conclusions based upon their behavior, when they're going through things like Beta's son, or my son. I am not taking a position about any other adult child than my own, but very slowly I see changing. And I will take it. I think drugs really change them. If they are able to stop, I hold out hope for personality change. Let me end by saying how painful this has been for all of us, and how hard it is to hang onto hope. I struggle. [/QUOTE]
