What support is available?
by Linda
We adopted a boy when he was a baby, 18 months old that was a methamphetamine baby. He is raised now, and we are just now finding problems that he has…He has heart disease, is OCD, ADHD, and we are thinking he has Paranoia Schizophrenia.
He is being tested now for other things, but we know he has heart disease. His specialist told us he has the heart of a 90 year old man, and is surprised he is still alive…and our son is going to have further tests and they are talking about putting a stint(s) in his heart.
I believe it is the way we raised him…that has kept him alive this long. We love him dearly. I have a question. I just want to know if there are support groups for him? There is a lot of anger, he doesn’t know why, and neither do we.
We have tried to get him psychiatric help…but so far…no luck. We would just like to know what is available out there (support and information) for Adult that were born addicted to meth. His mother took many things besides meth…
But that was the main thing she took…He wasn’t even two pounds when he was born. I would like any information that you could possibly give me.
Thank you
