[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 527510, member: 1514"] Sig I can understand why you dont think your son would be a good candidate for the Military though good doctors are sorely needed in there. I dont know why I am coming across to you as saying to walk away and never look back. I just think that you cant do more of the work on their issues than they are. If you are staying up all night looking into placements, worrying about where they are, what they are doing, this and that...they arent. I realize most of you think I have no idea what I am talking about but I was your son or daughter. Actually I was probably more like Sigs son than any of them. Maybe a cross between Nancy and Sigs. I am not that person today. It took me waking up at about 21/22 and realizing I had responsibilities which were named babies. Now possibly if those hadnt come along it may have taken longer...I dont know. I tend to think that when that frontal cortex finished growing I would have gotten tired of that life and grew up anyway. It happened with all of my other friends. Most of you have fairly good relationships with your kids starting out. At least in the beginning years. I had a horrible life and I still have made it this far. I have a boatload of diagnosis's to show for it. I should be stuck in some sort of sub abuse but Im not. I truly believe your kids will come back. That is what I have been trying to say from day one. That old saying about if you love something set it free. This is the last time I am going to try to explain. Obviously I am not getting it through. [/QUOTE]
