My son doesn’t have a conduct disorder or drug problem. He was born addicted to cocaine which is why I came to this forum. I was afraid of all the behaviors he was at risk for, which have not come to pass yet. Maybe they won’t, but we can’t know. He’s a senior now and so far the problems he’s had have been severe anxiety and major depression. We have always worried about drug use because his birth mother was addicted to cocaine, which caused him to be born addicted. Wr adopted him at two. Until that time, his grandma, who I credit for his success, had custody. She died suddenly and unexpectedly. He has experienced a great amount of trauma, so we’ve had experts involved since we adopted him.
