[QUOTE="Sheila, post: 21364, member: 23"] Definately sounds as if you have a difficult child. A child's perception of homelife and the family dynamics certainly can play a part in problems like these, but with a history of seizures and drug and alcohol abuse that might not be the primary problem. A seizure disorder can cause all kinds of behavioral problems. I hope Sara and others that deal with-seizures pop into this thread and give you info. Unfortunately, drug and alcohol abuse is not uncommon for our difficult children. It's a means of self-medication. If your daughter was younger, I'd encourage you to have a multidisciplinary evaluation performed ASAP. But, dealing with adult children presents a whole new set of problems for parents. Frankly, there's not much we can do if the adult child will not cooperate. You might want to also visit the Parent Emeritus Forum at [url]http://www.conductdisorders.com/community/forums/parent-emeritus.18/[/url] It's a heartbreaking story and more familiar to us than you might think. Although you didn't write about it specifically, we all understand the tears that have been shed, the sleepless nights, the chaos situations like this create.... It helps to connect with others that understand. Glad you found us. [/QUOTE]
