[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705823, member: 18958"] Pigless, I am in the same boat. I adopted my son when he was 22 months. He had been taken away from his homeless, drug addicted, mentally ill parents when he was 2 weeks old. My thinking is like your own, that our sons work out their losses, conflict with respect to their compromised parent(s) as opposed to some genetic predetermination as some on this site believe. If this is it, the working out of conflict, there is recovery possible. But of course there are no guarantees for me, for any other parent here on the forum or any other parent in the world really. Nobody has it made in the shade. My rabbi told me last week: [I]your son is on a heroes journey, his own, and parents cannot go along.[/I] I keep trying to and it does not work. I am still trying.
