[QUOTE="JMoms, post: 760687, member: 27890"] I would love to continue this conversation as I have a 19 year old son ( adopted from Russia at 2.5 years old). No one could diagnose him due to the fact that he is incredibly high functioning and a pathological liar. He could sell you a river in the Mojave Desert. finally, about 2 years ago the Social worker said he has Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD). Well, long story short, the one man that he was attached to was his dad and my husband passed away 4 years ago. Since then it has been hell with him. He graduated High School this past June, got into the Marines - was at Boot Camp and something happened and now they are sending him home with a Certificate of Release. A year ago he put on social media that he had thoughts of Suicide - the Principal of our High School found this out and contacted the police - the police came to visit and my son said I would never hurt myself, I just did that to see who would respond. It was not a 5150. Last week the Marines found this out due to a police report and they let him go. When I found out, I had a nervous breakdown and had to go to the Emergency room due to extreme anxiety. This kid is extremely capable of holding a job and making a life for himself. I do not want him to come home and live with me as it is unhealthy for me . Any thoughts or opinions would be welcomed. Idea for jobs...? Transitional housing? [/QUOTE]
