[QUOTE="Chele, post: 94503, member: 4189"] I don't know your past or his past but just thought I would share some things to consider. My son, ADD and ODD has had many self image and esteem issues that we are trying to deal with. As you probably know, this is why many people with duel diagnosis turn to drugs to function or self medicate. What scares me is that he is turning to drugs again to deal with life. I think I would try to focus on being supportive and help him to make positive changes in his life. Continue with therapy, medication management, show him how much you love him. As long as he follows your house rules etc, I think I would try to focus on the root cause of his issues. I personally would rather my son be responsible, safe, happy and drug free with a gender change, then have him dead or in jail for 25 years to life for vehicular homicide. [/QUOTE]
