[QUOTE="jamrobmic, post: 26771, member: 1412"] When my son really started getting bad (at age 15), I wondered the same thing. He seemed so unreachable that he barely seemed human. A police officer once told me it might change difficult child's behavior if I cried in front of him (difficult child). The officer said he had seen it happen quite a few times. I told difficult child's therapist I didn't think difficult child would care-the therapist agreed. On medication, though, it seemed like difficult child "thawed," and for a time, I felt like I had my son back. Now that he's off medication, he's back to the way he was. So I think it is part of his illness, but I feel like I've been cheated out of the relationship I could have had with him. But then I think how much worse it must be for him to not be able to feel love for someone else, even though I don't think he realizes he's missing out on anything. [/QUOTE]
