[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 623141, member: 15832"] Guilty of the above, Cedar. I blamed my brother and his wife and their dysfunctional marriage for the way their son, my nephew was acting. Violence, arrests, multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, drugs. But now the shoe is on the other foot, since said nephew has a good job and is engaged to be married, while his cousin, my son, struggles to be mentally stable and sober and to hold down a part time, minimum wage job. I would not ever have predicted this outcome in a thousand years. He had depression and social withdrawl in high school which seemed to get better in college. No evidence, strangely, of substance abuse, and no drinking in high school, until age 21. He used to come back from college with funny stories about people who got drunk. He made fun of them. He was very anti drinking and did remark that his friends were always trying to get him to drink. Unbelieveable, right? We have less control than we think. [/QUOTE]
