[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 122973, member: 3626"] Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) is not the end of the world. As was said, he can live a life that suits him. It may not be the choices you would have made for him, but it can be a good life. The good thing is you have time to find what is available to help him transition into adulthood. He may never be fully independent but he can have a rich, full life on terms that work for him. It is okay to grieve the loss of what could have been -- I think we all do that. When we got our children, we have dreams of their future. As we see their issues and problems, our dreams fade. Slowly, we develop different dreams. Not what our friends with the college-track, career have, but ones where we see our children being happy, possibly productive with interventions. We'll be on the sidelines cheering their every step and we'll be here cheering the steps of our friends' children. [/QUOTE]
