[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 535022"] I agree adoption is an issue.... just the numbers say that.. the number of kids in some kind of treatment that are adopted is way higher than the % of adopted kids in the population. I do think adoption is a big issue for my difficult child but I don't think it is the only issue. There are other pieces to the puzzle that is my difficult child. I am hoping he is on his way to figuring that out. I also think Nancy that some people can get sober and then deal with the issues that made them drink and do drugs. I am convinced that will not work with my difficult child. He needs help in parallel.... clearly he can't be drinking or drugging while trying to work out ihs other issues but i also don't think he can stay clean if his other demons are right there. They are too painful, too whatever and so he finds himself just trying to numb the pain. And the problem is many treatment programs want you to get sober first which is great if that works for you... but there are a few programs that work on things in parallel... and that is where we are at. Trying to help him with both. TL [/QUOTE]
