[QUOTE="prescottsunshine, post: 172199, member: 5545"] First, let me say how brave you were to adopt this child and care for him the way you have, how lucky he is to have you. My family had similar experience with my brother starting when he was very young. It was before there was protection for ED kiddo's at school and he was kicked out of school by the time he was in first grade. It just got worse after that and he continued to struggle with the law. He was in different placement facilities in teen years and never finished high school. Part of the problem was he never received any help or support for his emotional disability and part of the problem was our mother got very sick for many years and then died when he was 9 (abandonement issues and a lot of anger). Unfortunately, he ended up in prison for drug trafficking when he was 19 and spend 6 years in. Since he was released, he has been in and out due to continued drug use but this last time, he has really committed to cleaning up and taking care of his daughter. He is now 31 and is a perfectly charming, artistic and loving person. My wish is he stays sober and clean and continues to be there for his sweet daughter. I only tell you this because I understand how difficult it is when people you care about choose the wrong path in our eyes. I can't stand the thought of my son getting in trouble with the law and getting into drugs. But if he chooses that path, I hope I will be strong enough to be there for him and never give up. There is always hope.... Peace [/QUOTE]
