[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 616767, member: 1550"] Before I answer that...did you drink AT ALL while you were pregnant with Mr. 13? Fathers get off the hook. If they drink, it does not affect a developing fetus. But if a mother drinks, it can. That may explain some of 13s behaviors. Even one drink, I've heard, can affect a child's developing brain. I am not asking you this to make you feel guilty. What's done is done. I am trying to figure out if Mr. 13's behavior problems may have something to do with prenatal alcohol exposure. Clearly, since he is so smart, it has not affected his intelligence, a great thing. However, it could affect his impulsivity too and his ability to make good choices or to understand how to best take care of himself. Again, no blame game here. Just trying to figure him out. Tremendous kudos to you for getting clean. My daughter used drugs and drank. She still drinks sometimes...it does not seem to be one of her substances in which she abused since she can drink twice a year and no more often. However, I know how hard it is to quit through her words. [/QUOTE]
