[QUOTE="Stacy G., post: 29435, member: 3584"] Thank y'all for the replies. Adam has not ever seen a psychiatrist. We do have an appointment for him to have a drug / alcohol assessment next week. I'm hoping that will help us in knowing what we are dealing with, if not I will look into a psychiatrist. I know I do have to accept the pregnancy situation with my oldest, I guess it would help if he actually accepted it & didn't see it as being a joke. Both he & the girlfriend see it this way. Both of them were talking yesterday about when they start dating other people! Uh, NO! That should be the last thing on their minds (& believe me, I told them so!)! I think the hardest part of this is having people tell me that I have done what I could & that Adam will have to learn on his own. I cannot accept that! He is only 15, if he was older then maybe yeah but at this point I feel it is my job to help him & rectify the situation. husband is really trying to help but he seems to be able to detach himself better than I can. His thoughts are that difficult child is going to do what he's going to do & that we cannot keep him locked up until he's 18. Why not? There is much more that Adam has done, one being taking a bunch of over the counter cold tablets. The kid seems to be on a self destruction road. Anyway, I'm sure y'all will get sick of hearing from me but I really do appreciate the support from the bottom of my heart. Stacy [/QUOTE]
