[quote=Anonymous]Heroin Mom here. (Has a ring to it, doesn't it?) Part private, part public. Could have been a factor but dunno--two user friends were from an extremely competitive private. Adolescence was very unkind to DC. A most unfortunate confluence of mental and physical health problems. Not a helicopter Mom. There was no TV at all during the week. Kids did not have video games, Gameboy, etc. Intact family, ate dinner together. Weekends were filled with outdoor outings, museum trips, etc. Admit to no spanking. But none of these things are a guarantee a child with challenges like mine won't fall off the edge come adolescence. Recovered and very active in anti-drug outreach. Would be Ivy Mom, if you have rehabilitation questions, ask away. It can get better.[/quote]
