[QUOTE="sooverit, post: 713486, member: 21925"] One of my adopted kids is absolutely intolerant to any kind of self destructive behavior. She is will call someone out in a heartbeat on any excuse they have for it. (Sometimes very harshly) she works hard and studies hard. The other is only 13, he is a smart, funny, and a little self conscious. I (maybe naively) can't see that in him. My second youngest is 15 and on the spectrum, he shows zero interest in anything like them. He gets very anxious when his big brother is in trouble and asks why to understand why the 18 year old does what he does. You an actually see him try and puzzle out why his older brother thinks things are worth the trouble. I ask my self repeatedly if this is just a teen having fun like I did. But it seems to have taken over everything. He doesn't seem to care that when he goes to his court appointed drug testing that it is going to be positive. And the reason I feel like it is hopeless sometimes is because my sister never got clean from opiates, my husband clearly chose what was more important. I just feel like life has revolved around drugs and alcohol for so long that I will never be free of it. [/QUOTE]
