[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 679329, member: 20054"] [SIZE=4]Thank you all. I have found this site to be a lifesaver for 6 mo. Our Difficult Child is 28yo with fetal alcohol effects, our foster child at birth, adopted by us as 6yo. A struggle from age 4, IQ low normal, behavior, learning and then later alcohol issues. a string of misdemeanors all alcohol related-like many we have rescued sometimes, only to "start over" for 3-4wks before he goes back to old friends and old ways. has rarely kept a job-most can't stand his attitude, attendance, lying or inability with math, reading. Had partial ssi x 5 yr for "simple mental" diagnosis, lost that when re-upped last yr and ssi discontinued as they found he was "no longer physically disabled". He had never been PHYSICALLY disabled! We are so exhausted. He moved home in Dec. after having been gone x nearly five yrs. Depressed, angry but won't go to Dr. Can't talk to or about situation or anything that he perceives as criticism without him getting loud and angry. we started al-anon last fall and did learn techniques to cope but honestly find this site more to meet our situation. anyone with similar problems-please help[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
