[QUOTE="UpandDown, post: 708691, member: 19025"] Yes, that is a great way to explain it. His struggles have changed so many things for me. I see that often I am negative, angry and withdrawn from people in my life. I just can't relate to my old life and what mattered then. My son is way way better than he was at 15. I try to focus on that. That he no longer rages and breaks things, he finally is working with us and not against us in his treatment, he has opened up about how much he suffers from anxiety, goes willingly to both his therapist and psychiatrist and is taking wellbutrin. All of those are HUGE. Sometimes the wave just comes and I slip back into despair. Writing his high school bio just hit me hard. I absolutely can think of a lot of positive things about him. He is very kind, sensitive, smart, and clever. Its just this bio is to list their high school achievements and future plans. 2-3 years ago I could list: boy scouts, travel and high school sports, active member of our church, thinking of college on the west coast. but 3 years ago he started to drop things one by one. All at the same time, he started smoking weed. So that leaves not much to say on a bragging bio. I realize in the big scheme of things, this bio thing is minor and I'll get over it. It just hurts a lot today. Thank you for your thoughts and care. [/QUOTE]
