[QUOTE="Running_for_the_shelter, post: 60841, member: 2960"] Well, no one can see the future but you can get some clues from the other people in the family. I was a difficult child. So was my father and so is my son. My father left home as soon as he could to fight in WWII. Although he became an alcoholic, he always had a decent job and took care of us the best he knew how. I went to college at 17 and never moved back to my parents' house. I put myself through college, got a job, etc. I'm on medications but doing fine. My boy is 6 and he'll be just like me and my father. I'll never be just like other folks but who wants to be, anyway ;)? Basically, some of us do become productive, reliable citizens, perfectly capable of taking care of ourselves and our families and are not burdens on others all of our days. Depends on the person, the family, the coping tools they learn, if they are responsive to medications, etc. ... and probably some luck. There's my story, if it's of any comfort to you. Good luck!
