Hi bel.pleased to meet you.
I suppose I was lucky in some ways, P kid here didn't start to really go off the rails til she hit 14 so we never went down the meds route with her.not that it would have made much of a difference..and I agree, there is something missing with them.
She is 21 now but has been out of my life since she was 19....if this were a fairy tale, there would be a happy ending......my happy ending now will be no further contact with her ever.....and in some ways that is so sad yet neccessary.
I read the book, " Without Conscience"......it opened my eyes and yet made me feel sick all at once.
I think aswell, part of the healing process is learning how to ignore other people who want to blame us for this condition......once we get our heads round that, more stuff slots into place and helps us try to make some sense from it all.
