    Just needing some support today, please

    So, following my last post, I took all of your advice and made some decisions. We came down hard on my daughter and she gets the point. She is engaging in counselling and has stopped smoking and thrown herself into her gym and athletics. As for my son, I cut contact and have not spoken to him...

    Home or Homeless

    Hi Its all such a painful dilemma isn't it? Personally, having taken my son back into the family home and experienced exactly the same as the reason we kicked him out in the first place my advice would be not to have him back. Its too easy for them to slip back. xx

    When is enough, enough?

    I questioned my son as to why this video was ever posted and he said it was an accident. It was on snap chat. No idea how all that works, I don't use it! My guess was he was too intoxicated to know what he was doing! I do believe my son has some kind of 'sickness'. I'm not sure what...

    When is enough, enough?

    Thank you for your reply. I do agree with you although if I feel my grandson is in danger I will be reporting them. I can't take any more problems on, simple. xx

    When is enough, enough?

    Thank you for your replies. My daughter is in counselling, just started. I think the pot was strong stuff and she wasn't used to it. Yes, it scared her. I don't believe she will continue it as a life choice. She is a great athlete and will not want to jeopardise that. She has just bought...

    When is enough, enough?

    ...I am trying to work out why because at the end of the day he is 21 and sex is 'normal'. He just minimised it with "oh get over it, it was just a bl*w job for gods sake", but somehow I see it differently. Probably because the girl in the video was not his girlfriend!!!! More fool her...

    Thank you ALL so so much for your advice. I feel emotionally weak and so so tired right now but your kindness and heartfelt advice gives me strength. I had a good childhood and great parents/brother. We all get along now and would never speak to each other in the way my son does. I do not...

    Hi Kathy Thank you for your messages. I am in the UK so I guess there are some differences. There is no other options for him to go at the moment. Homelessness is a real problem here. He went to a young peoples homeless hostel year before last and even got thrown out of there by not abiding...

    I do not feel judged by anyone on this site. Your words give me strength and they are, of course, all true! I know he is mistreating me. I know he uses me. I know he is only ok if he is ok. I know I walk on eggshells. I know all of these things yet I cannot find the courage to let him go...

    ...she is behind on work too and its taking its toll. She didn't want to be in the house so I took her to a friends as I have had to come to work. I felt sad when she said "why can't I have a normal brother like my friends. One that buys me a milkshake rather than calls me a c*unt". I felt so...

    ...he must find his own way. Now I feel 'stuck'. My daughter came home from school today and got into a terrible fight with him and he called her a c*nt, reared up to her and hit her door. She was alone and scared of him. She is devastated and quite frankly looks ill. She took herself to bed...

    ...an inch, he takes a mile. He is told about stuff and gets back in line briefly before reverting back again. My husband says he is taking the pi** out of me and is a manipulative little sh*t. Sadly I agree. I love him but I do not like him. Yesterday I asked for some money he promised me...

    Its been ages..some improvement but how deep?

    I am sorry I have not posted in quite a while, I have checked back now and then to see how everyone is doing. It got where I would need to just sit here and update from moment to moment if I continued to come on here. The update is:- Everything has finally caught up with my son with the police...

    We may well be looking at a mixed disorder.

    I am so sorry to hear this LBL! At least he is in a place where there is help. Usually this diagnosis remains untreated in many people for many years and they continue to suffer. Your son has a good chance of being given the skills to manage this. Stay strong, you are not alone. Xxx
