[QUOTE="DDD, post: 459855, member: 35"] There is a line in the sand. He has never actually made excuses for his behaviors and in fact prefers to deny that he has brain injury. In eleven years he has never mentioned baseball or his Dad's abandonment. He loves his Mom but recognizes that she is a mess up. A few times he has spoken about her in stifled anger because she stole drug money from his and drove him to pick up pot etc during the year he lived with her after he had been in three residential rehab programs! He's said "I don't understand why she didn't try to help me like you all did". The explanations I post here are between you guys and me. I don't share those things with others except when he has been in treatment and I've spoken alone with the psychiatrists, therapists or counselors in hopes they would be able to get the full picture. Obviously they are true facts that I believe are important factors. When he was a easy child he used to wear Nike clothes and shoes that said "No Excuses". Obviously that was sports oriented. on the other hand, he really doesn't make any excuses for his choices. The "good" part is that he acknowledges that his choices are poor and avows he wants to make a future for himself learning our business. (Actually, lol, that is kind of sick as the business is so poor now that it's future is in question!) I have to find the options that are available so [B]he[/B] can choose a new path...or leave home and sink! Meanwhile, my long named easy child/difficult child has lost his easy child. That is significant to me and you all understand but he's never heard the term. Thanks for caring. DDD [/QUOTE]
