[QUOTE="Jaylee, post: 2224975, member: 101136"] Hi Rich, Welcome to the forum. I was diagnosed as a kid. & to be quite frank I picked up on the change in family dynamics especially with my mum. I knew back then it was nobody's fault least of all the woman that brought me into this world. Years later (at around the age of 20.) my mum mentioned she felt bad I had to put up with this stuff. My reply to her was simple & reasuring.. (Through the profanity filter will edit it out. So I'll paraphrase...) "Sheds happen.." Your son is his own man & has probably been doing a bit of thinking.. I personally don't think there is any one talourmade answer to this. Sometime it can leave you thinking you may as well stolen a car. Lol, there maybe be a time in his teens when he doesn't come home due to some girl or another? You may feel he's upside down in a ditch. You may start to want to mount a "search party?" My dad did that.. I rocked up in the early hours just as my dad was getting his car out. (No mobiles back then.) It was nice to know my dad cared enough. He was also pleased to know I'd decided this particular girl wasn't a "keeper." ;) All you can do is take the time to listen. & if you can find some sort of D club that he may want to partake in.? Don't let your heart sink buddy, you're doing what you can. You posted here didn't you? :) Feel free to share your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
