[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 747941, member: 15032"] Welcome and so glad you found us. You will get so much wisdom and support here. This site also gave me strength. I was here all the time during our many years of hell with our youngest. If it weren't for this site I think my son would be dead by now because what we were doing was not working and things kept escalating. I still come here because I hope to help others and it's just a safe place. I agree with the others. Nothing changes if nothing changes. You cannot wait for HIM to change (we did). It doesn't work that way unfortunately. YOU have to drive the change. Wash, rinse, repeat. My son was so out of it I never thought he'd be "normal". Guess what? My son is normal now. I don't regret anything that we did to make him UNCOMFORTABLE during his escapades...some of which is below. Only the "highlights" of the last few years trust me. We don't talk about it and my brain won't let me "go there". Too painful. Yesterday we celebrated Easter with him for the first time in 3 years and I am so thankful. Before our company came son mowed the grass (we are on a corner so it's a lot) and washed his truck. He also works full time and is waiting to get into welding school. He helps around the house too and is very sweet and kind and the son we used to know. This is not the future for him that I predicted but it was the one that I was hoping and praying for. [/QUOTE]
