[QUOTE="DDD, post: 7286, member: 35"] My easy child/difficult child "bonded" with his biodad/stepmom/stepbrother for about two years. They were "beautiful people" who taught at the church. The bond lasted from 11 or 12 to that dreaded 14. They left town and never said goodbye. The next phone call was this year from dear Dad who wanted to "see his son" when he heard that he might be dying in the hospital after brain surgery....almost five years later. Alas, easy child/difficult child was officially labeled as an alcoholic at the age of 14. Then, and only then, did I find that wine was liberally served at meals with his Dads family AND mixed drinks were available to all when they entertained and made sure to invite easy child/difficult child because he was so handsome and polite that it impressed their business associates. My husband and I never suspected a thing. Good Grief, it never ever occured to us! Now our son is an alcoholic and the biodad's family had the audacity to tell me "we have no alcoholics on our side of the family". I understand your fury....but...the ball is in your sons court just like it is in my sons. So sad! DDD [/QUOTE]
