[QUOTE="JKF, post: 621054, member: 12470"] Cedar - the crazy thing is it's not addiction and never was. I say that with 100% certainty. He has acted like this since he was a small child. Of course now that he's an adult it's on a larger scale but he has been very disturbed since childhood. If anyone of you were to meet difficult child you would know as certainly as I do that his activities are fueled by severe mental illness and not substance abuse. That's the scary part. I know it's horrible to say but at least if he was abusing drugs that would be an answer as to WHY he is the way he is. difficult child is a complete loner. 100% obsessed with video games and electronics. He could happily sit in his room for days (and I'm sure he does) with no human interaction playing online. If anything that's his addiction. That and food. That's part of the reason I've tried so hard to help him. Because I truly believe to my core that he's so disturbed he can't control his demons. I'm just to the point where I can't control them either. Never have been able to and never will be. That's the difference now. I finally realize and accept that I have absolutely no control over his life and the choices he makes. Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
