[QUOTE="bluebell, post: 708160, member: 16761"] RN (I think we are hacking the thread Copa :)) , Our 'kids' sound familiar in their patterns of drug use (benzos, weed). Since A started this madness at 12, I cannot see the forest for the trees. I can tell you this - every episode of violence or threatening - every time he has damaged my property - he has been on benzos (coming down). I read about the paradoxical rage reaction and discussed this with his doctors. He knows it causes this in him but he still uses. His emotional maturity is so stunted at this point, I don't know what is real or what is memorex. I see glimmers of hope and he did have a year or so of relative stability (off benzos, but still puffing weed like out of style). I know he adores our animals and treats them very gingerly and with the affection that I used to see in him as a child, so this does give me hope. I certainly raised him to be a good person, but didn't we all - or we wouldn't be here ringing our hands about the outcome? [/QUOTE]
