[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 536112, member: 6705"] SuZir, you do have a point - but the external, "nurture" factors do have to be [B]EXTREME[/B] in order to override nature. It's my opinion, and not something I'd voice to my family normally, but I'm pretty sure bio was un-diagnosis'd bipolar, Onyxx of course is diagnosis'd such and bio-gma - maybe un-diagnosis'd too. She apparently (from what I've heard from the kids) has manic states. So... Given that, and the self-medication that I know about (alcohol, pain medications, stims etc.)... I'm not sure any intervention we do will help Onyxx. We're still trying. If the medications help Onyxx [I]and she sticks with them[/I], she has a chance to overcome it - [I]herself[/I]. That being said, Jett takes after husband, and from what I have been able to gather, bio's brother as well. But given the fact that Onyxx and Jett have the same genetic makeup - why so different? THAT, I believe is where [I]nurture [/I]comes in... [/QUOTE]
