[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 680719, member: 11791"] TL... the problem is kind of like getting a (?many?) diagnosis for our kids. Where does one line start and another one end? SA is clearly for substance abuse. But it's different dealing with a 15 year old, than an 18, or 21, or 30 year old... each age group has different approaches that work. PE was/is intended as an extension of General - which covers non-adult kids. General hasn't been as busy, lately. People with younger kids aren't finding us right now. As Copa said on another thread. PE seems to have become a forum for dealing with adult kids who are choosing to make bad choices. A few of us are in a totally different situation from what happens in General, SA and PE. Kids who may or may not be officially adult, but who don't necessarily have the capacity to BE adult. Where there may be less a factor of "choice" and more the result of a complex mix of diagnoses (and missed ones), where dealing with one part of the problem may make another part worse. Medication issues - from getting medications compliance to trying to find something that actually works. The point I'm trying to make is that there really isn't a clear line of demarcation between the forums. We overlap - rightfully so. Which makes it harder to know where to post and when... In some ways we are as complex as our kids! [/QUOTE]
