[QUOTE="klmno, post: 124013, member: 3699"] Thanks, All! No, WW, Thank God there are no signs so far of substance abuse in difficult child. I asked because of family history- on both sides of my parents family trees. You know the type- the family members who think it's ok to to stay plastered but it's not ok to go to therapy? It is hard for me to accept that difficult child has to be on medications, at least right now if not for the rest of his life, but it does help to think that it is better to be on prescribed medications for a specific problem than to be out looking for a way to self- medicate. Of course, I'm aware that the chances are he'll have his interests in exploring drugs/alcohol at some point in the next few years. His best friend right now seems to be pretty level headed (he has a mean Mom too!) so I can only hope that he explores and walks away- or at least, learns moderation. [/QUOTE]
