New Here
I am a concerned dad in the Chicago area. My son, now 22, was abused by a 14 yr old female baby sitter when he was six. He has been struggeling ever since. He sees no real future... He has been in counseling ever since the incedent. Yes she was convicted of 2 felony counts of aggrivated sexual abuse and did 35 hrs of community service and a few hundred dollars in restitution. My son is livid and angry at the system. He tried college, but that was not for him. He has been under the care of psychriasits(sp?) and threapy, but still self medicates with pot. We are looking for a psycharisist for med management who has some knowledge about PTSD and child sexual abuse for med management. He doesn't work, he says he can't have anybody with "power over him" i.e. boss. Financially he HAS to work, I can't keep supporting him forever...Over the last few years he has held a few jobs but most only last three months. I have so much more to say but I don't want to make this too long...
