[QUOTE="Beta, post: 749751, member: 22597"] BusyMember, thank you for your feedback and concern. I've read some of your posts about your daughter, Kay. I am so sorry for what you have been through. As far as we know, he is not using street drugs. We have asked him outright and he adamantly says no. We haven't seen any evidence of it, but we also know that he could be lying to us. I too hope he will get treatment. He doesn't think there's anything wrong with him, and he is angry that we insist he is ill ("crazy" in his words) and needs medication to stabilize his mood. Crayola13, yes, Josh has a great deal of anger, about a lot of things; some to do with us and some to do with just people he has known. My husband is a pastor, and he resents the moves we made, although we really didn't make that many, and while growing up, he appeared to be happy and well-adjusted, but that is one of the things he fixates on now to bash us with. As far as faith in God, he refers to it as "bullsh**" and "a fairy tale." I've researched Borderline (BPD) but I don't know if that is what is going on with him or not. Who knows. We adopted Josh when he was four months old, so he has never known any other home. Even while in temporary foster care, he was placed in a Christian home, and we met the foster mother when we brought him home. Yesterday, when he texted me what he did, I just thought, "Why am I allowing a person like this, who obviously cares nothing about me, to drive me to despair and depression and to ruin my life?" Hopefully, this will be the turning point for me to begin to heal a little bit and have some peace and joy in my life again. [/QUOTE]
