[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 612923, member: 1550"] The reason, in my opinion, that they find people who horrify us is because, sadly, THEY (difficult children) are a lot like those people they befriend. Who else would befriend a drug abuser who can't even act normal enough in his parents house to live there than an extreme difficult child? I don't think it is a personal crusade to scare us. I think this is where they fit in, considering where they are in life. I'll never forget when Julie was still using drugs and she brought home this tall, bald kid with tattoos up the wazzu (skulls and stuff) and the deadest eyes you could ever imagine. He looked soulless and he gave me the major creeps. He did not say hello or speak to me or barely move. After she quit drugs, he started stalking her and her friend online. He made some scary threats to come to Chicago and do bad things to her and her friend. Finally, they printed out his e-mails and took them to the police. The police contacted the Wisconsin police and found out that he had just been arrested and thrown in jail up here for some sort of assault. She has never heard from him again nor has her friend. When she is found by her old "friends" via FaceBook, it turns out they are all just out of jail, going to jail, or on parole and almost all have multiple kids from multiple people(poor things). She tells me that only one of her old friends straightened out her act, besides herself. My daughter wants nothing to do with them now. But when she was using, she didn't even realize these kids were off the rails. Drugs twist your mind, I guess. You will know your adult child is on his/her way to a better life when he/she dumps the dysfunctional "friends." "Birds of a feather stick together." My mama said it and she was right! [/QUOTE]
