[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 593397, member: 1550"] I went through the general sadness with four kids because none of them were into school fun, wanted college, or had grand plans for after high school. 35 had college plans, but I knew he was too sick to make it. He was bright, but had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) so badly that he had to drop out. And he never went to prom or homecoming. Scott was arrogant and decided he would skip college and get a jump on his peers and make more money than them. HE DID! But at the time, it didn't seem like a good idea. He also skipped all the Mommy fun events at school. Then he left our family. Yeah, fun. Julie was on drugs. She did go to Cosmetology school, begrudgingly. She skipped all the high school festivities and we got a call from her hairdressing college that other kids were saying she was taking cocaine. It was a shining Mom moment, lemme tell ya.... Sonic did his best and we were an d are so proud of him, but he of course is on the autism spectrum so it was different. Jumper is the first child we have been able to enjoy in that special way. I well know the sad feeling t hat my own children were left out. [/QUOTE]
