[QUOTE="buddy, post: 525171, member: 12886"] Glad it is starting to process already. Sounds like you are with some good people and the truth is as you have already experienced, the other diagnosis. is not fitting now, this one does, and in a few years someone may say something else, but if this seems to fit then the important thing is to do just what you are doing, find the people who can help. My heart breaks for your son that he went through anything so severe that it would cause him to need to survive like that. I could relate totally to what you said about the birth parents. I generally am pretty forgiving toward my son's birth parents but when he really struggles I think, if you guys had done your job, he would have been to a doctor right away, he would have been diagnosis'd sooner with his brain mass and it is likely that far less damage would have been done. Their addictive behavior caused him to suffer far beyond not having food all the time or even the car accident they were in. I will be interested to hear how you feel the therapy goes and what they say in terms of prognosis etc. Any time we get a diagnosis at least one good thing is it steers us toward new help. There was a woman in a support group I belonged to many years ago who said she had that diagnosis. and she was attending a lot of therapy but she had a job and family and did not seem depressed or dysfunctional overall, though I am sure it is not easy-I wont pretend to know her from that brief time. I never asked her anything or pried into her life, but I remember it because it is such a unique diagnosis and we did talk about every day things that we were there to support each other through. I only mention it to show a person with that diagnosis who seemingly (again I admit I didn't know her well) had many positive things going on in her life. Your son is so young and has your support, he may have an even better chance of improvement than many people. I will pray for you in your journey.
