[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 552594"] Interesting article. I dont know if this is true of anyone elses difficult child but my difficult child has always had very compulsive addictive type behaviors. As a little boy I would do reasonable limits on sweets (but he was allowed some every day and I did not control food otherwise) and I would go into his room and find wrappers and wrappers of stuff he had taken under his bed, or downstairs. Sometimes things were half eaten. It was kind of bizarre... and it drove me nuts, the combination of lying and taking and hiding food like this and then leaving it around. He has never had a weight problem though... tends Occupational Therapist (OT) be on the thin side. And when he first got his cell phone the text message went crazy and he would stay up all night texting etc.... until of course we put a limit on the phone. Same thing with the computer etc. So I think his tendancy towards addictive behavior has always been there but was manageable by parenting until he got into drugs. So yeah he is at risk for other addictions definitely. Sigh kind of depressing really. TL [/QUOTE]
