[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 718464, member: 1550"] I understand. I just lived such a different reality than most here. I was learning disabled and loathed school. I didnt want to join in school activities. I dated often, but older boys who were mostly not from my school, didnt have any interest in prom (which botheted my mother...think she wanted to live it over) and I did graduate but refused to go to my graduation. My Dad told me Id forever regret it, but I never spent an hour even thinking about it. I didnt do great in high school, wasnt an honor student, and wasnt interested in walking across a stage in a "silly" gown and nobody could make me go. I wasnt a real problem in any conventional sense. I never did drugs and have never bern drunk in my life or had sex before marriage. But I wasnt sad for missing school experiences. I did go to some other schools prom at fifteen, but didnt like my date or the prom that much. I was home by elevin as I asked to come home. Maybe your son will regret missing stuff from high school when he straightens out and maybe not. I cant stop your grief, nor should you stop it if it overwhelms you and you must feel it, but just know maybe your son, when he is well, will not see these things as losses. I wish everyone here the best...and recoveries for every single child who brings us here. [/QUOTE]
