[QUOTE="MomOfFive, post: 629684, member: 18135"] Neither my husband (his father) or I have been involved with illegal drugs. Neither of us has ever smoked. We normally do not have alcohol in the house. I don't really drink (not for faith or health reasons, just not my thing), but my husband will have a beer or two when we're out at dinner every few weeks. I do not see addictive behavior in my husband, but I am an over-eater (sugar addiction?). Our son had a birth injury and surgeries, but he was able to play sports to some degree and has use of his injured arm, enough to lift boxes etc. He was generally well-liked in school etc., but he has always been a "sour-puss," as his younger sister would say, with us. I've wondered if he possibly has Asperger Syndrome but he has not been diagnosed. We tried therapy with him a few years back, but he would sit there and stare straight ahead -- for a full hour. It was a waste of time, it seemed. He refused to go back for a second session. My oldest daughter is now asking me, "What does he have to do to be able to come home?" I'm not sure if she is in phone contact with him -- she lives with her husband and children in another state. I do not think he will ask to come home or ask for help as he is very prideful, but we should probably have an idea of what to say if he does ask for help or asks to come home. [/QUOTE]
