[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 609863, member: 1550"] Susie, you are so right about the shame. 35 was my first child and adored. He was never spanked or verbally abused. We got him tons of help, which never worked. I got two very different responses from different other parents, both clueless answers. 1/If you just SPANKED him, he'd turn out fine (or a variation of "spoiled." Well, I treated Sonic, Jumper and pastry Chef the same way and they aren't abusive to other people) 2/(pious voice) Something is wrong in the home. No child acts that way if he isn't mistreated. Even though my son is now almost 36, a few people I've trusted with my story have said, "I would never give up on my child. My mother took care of my alcoholic brother until he died and that's what I would do." So I stick to posting here. It helps that 35 is so far away. He never lived with us in Wisconsin. He was already grown up and living on his own. It's a blessing. People up here know about Julie, but not 35. And because there is so little support for abused parents, I keep his existence mostly to myself. [/QUOTE]
