[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 355815, member: 1991"] I did post in answer to you on the other thread. But in summary - all of us as parents feel we're being 'got at' by doctors form time to time. Your daughter does have cause for concern to a certain extent, in terms of what other people will say in judgement. But as far as I understand it, I don't think opiate addiction is likely to cause long-term Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD)-type damage. Babies can be born addicted and have to go through withdrawal, but that isn't brain damage. However, his life experiences, especially witnessing fights between his parents plus the custody issues, could have done a lot of damage emotionally. Your daughter needs to make a choice - worrying about what people will think of her, should NOT but barriers in the way of her son getting help. Besides - whatever has been done, has been done. Now it's time to try to get help for whatever the problem is. And as I said - I don't think the methadone is connected. Try to get your daughter to lurk here or post here. We are a friendly lot and will focus on what to do now. She won't be the only one with her experiences on this board! Marg [/QUOTE]
