[QUOTE="PonyGirl, post: 55688, member: 187"] Hey LMS, so great to see you here! [img]:grin:[/img] I have two "success" stories: My difficult child, never diagnosis BiPolar (BP) but a viable candidate nonetheless, I always assumed he was self-medicating some type of disorder. What seemed to finally 'do it' for him was a long stretch in jail. He spent 16 months in 2 different county lock-ups. After about 6 months, he began reading the Bible, and attending AA Meetings. He was released in May 2006, already working full-time. Today he is a home-owner and engaged to be married. WOW!! I too share an immense feeling of pride over his success. I love how young difficult child has told you his appreciation, and given you the great honor of pinning the rope on his shoulder. [img]:warrior:[/img] The other story is the difficult child of my best friend. He was involved with drinking, drugs, skipping school, fights, and stealing from the time he was 14 years old. At 17, he went to the Challenge Academy. He graduated a few weeks ago With Honors!! He has completely transformed into the person my friend always knew he could be, and wants to go into any field where he can help other young struggling kids. [img]:angel:[/img] My easy child has found himself in running long distance. There is a definate endorphin release for him as well. He's on the Cross Country Team, and training hard this summer. His goal is to run 400 miles before the season starts in August!! Thanks for sharing the bright side, the hope, the miracle. We all need to hear that we are not doomed!
