[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 498857, member: 11791"] Wish I had filed a bunch of this stuff years ago... all I have is vague recollections... But there was a story about some research years ago, into why some people from tough backgrounds "made it" and others were homeless or in jail... Major overlap between the two groups in terms of background specifics... including serious abuse. The difference? Those that made it had ONE person in their lives that really cared, who was there for them, helped them understand how the real world works, advocated where possible... often, it was a grandparent, or older aunt or uncle... sometimes, a neighbor, or a teacher... ONE person. Don't underestimate the value of your involvement in his life. [/QUOTE]
