[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 694662, member: 15832"] Yes, the signs were there, but we never thought he would turn out like he did. Learning disability, ADHD, sometimes bad behavior but he wasn't horrible. Depression starting age 16 which went on and on and on, with some periods of remission. But the one thing we were blindsided by was the substance abuse. I know this is very atypical, but he did not drink or use drugs in high school. No evidence of this. Really. He spent his time with us or in the basement (on the computer, of course). He would c o me home from college and make fun of the drunken behavior he witnessed. At one point he did mention that his friends were trying to get him to drink. The bad stuff didn't start until after age 21. [/QUOTE]
