[QUOTE="judi, post: 313844, member: 148"] Fran - what a wonderful post! Gotta agree with the above. Like Fran, my son is now older...24. Unfortunately, he did do malicious things, we did have an adversarial relationship and for us, things did not turn out well: our son no longer wishes any contact with us an we have not seen/talked with him for well over a year! This is painful beyond belief for us. We did all the things you mentioned: we fortunately had the financial and emotional resources to provide our son with the best counselors, hospitals, residential treatment facilities, etc., but it did no good in the end. I'm probably one of the more negative members here so please don't take everything I say to heart - lol. It is important too that you separate YOU from your CHILD. As they get older, THEIR choices are not a reflection on YOU! Very difficult lesson for me. [/QUOTE]
