[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 653053, member: 18238"] I've dreaded this reaction as well. Been waiting for a while now to hear "Your not my REAL father!" He is my wife's child from a previous marriage and his bio dad killed himself in county jail not long after I started the adoption process so can't help but wonder if he blames me for his bio dad's death. Others with more experience dealing with teens will chime in on this. Our son's spiral didn't become really noticeable until he was almost 18 so forcing him into rehab wasn't ever really an option for us. The only thing I can say is to keep loving him and to have your actions reflect that love. He will probably hate you for it for a while but, hopefully, he will grow out of this, beat his addiction, and become the son he should be. [/QUOTE]
