[QUOTE="exhausted, post: 493279, member: 11001"] My dear-is there false hope when it comes to the complicated organism called humans? How can anyone predict the future of a human? If you dobn't have hope, who will. Just don't make it blind hope-"help the the hope" as it were! When my boy (who was a difficult child from he**) attended a special preschool, the very reknowned director, whom I still see on the news when child psychology commentary is needed, told me my boy would never make it through regular school and would probably either have legal trouble or addictions, I lost some hope. Then I got ticked!!! I pulled my kid out (because it cost a bundle and if they didn't have any hope what the heck was I doing there?), and got to work. I read, I surrounded myself with people who did have hope for my boy-in short, we did some therapist hoping and intervention hoping and medication hoping until things felt right! Every time I see this jerk on the news, I want to tell him that my boy has a career (not just a job), he has a band that is well known in these parts, that he is responsible and has never been arrested and graduated from public high school (with honors). Nobody believes that he was so difficult when he was young. He has no addiction and lives clean. He isn't perfect, does not want A girl friend (too much trouble), has spent 2 years house hunting and can't decide if he wants to move out, move out of state or what. Had I listened to others, we would have never accomplished this. Even difficult child daughter is doing better. She is so wounded and she struggles in so many ways. But, she has a job, aced the GED, and has not run away for at least a month. Now I am the only one this morning who thought things would get better in 2012 (at least at that point). But, you just don't know. And things will only get worse if you dont believe that you can help. (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
