It's been a while but I think tthat is said a lot here Seems we hope that this time will be different, but it never is. So glad to see you all still here supporting each other. Today i come for inclusion. To a club noone wants to belong to, but at least you will understand. At least I can be...

I am back, and I hoped i wouldn't. I hate hope

I know how hard it is. I almost turned around when I couldn't immediately found the place. Go when you are ready

Me too. I cherish those moments because they allow me to continue believing he can come or of this. My boy is still in there.

It was well over due. I have had it setup as a recurring event on Monday evenings for the last six weeks. Each time something positive happens, I think it is all ok, and it will work itself out. I don't have time for meetings. It has now been about three years since I first posted to this...

I am going to print this out as a reminder. I fall back on this during each relapse. His drug relapse and my enabling relapses.

Thank you all. Many of you are the same people that were here when I first joined in 2014. I don't know if that is comforting or discerning. I do know your words are almost the only thing that gets me through these moments. Yes they are both out of the house. The older son is not talking to me...

After we got the eight month old chickenpox baby lathered in calamine after a baking soda bath, I finally had a chance to breathe. To think back on the day, the weeks, the month I have had. Today tested my resolve. During multiple text message responses to my son about him not having any food...

Yes, boundaries are tough for both sides. Our DCs have never had them and we really find it difficult to set them and hold to them. Last year I started setting strong boundaries with Difficult Child but I think I could do better with DCs older brother. I am going to work on that. He has the 30 day notice...

Just re read my first post here from March of last year. It helps to give me strength. I cant go back to that hell. I need to sleep but I can't. Reading your posts does help. One of you suggested that the gift this board gives us, is a history trail. It is good, as it keeps me from forgetting...

His brother lives in a trailer on the side of our house. Started off good, it was too help him out temp, but they are similar, so we have had issues. He is 25. difficult child is 23 and his brother, the ones in the trailer, went up north and got him and brought him back here. Tonight, difficult child is sleeping in his...

He got out of jail. I am glad he isn't there but worried where he will go. And scared he will make it here. Why do we have to live this way?

He we going again

Yes well said New Leaf. I haven't been on the roller coaster for over a year. He was living with his dad, using him for a while. We are divorced so he uses one of us, when that one is fed up, he turns back to the other one. Spreads stories about how bad he was treated but the real story is...

Sorry for all the typos. I was going to go back and edit but it won't let me

I haven't been here for quite a while. My son has been away living in a trailer on his grandmother's property with his dad, and not talking to me. He always chooses one or the other of us to be mad at. August of last year, his dad asked me to help him and get him a flight back to California...

I am sorry your son is treating you this way. My son, who is 22, was doing very similar things. Do what I did. The next time you talk to him, tell him if he is not polite, you will hang up and not talk to him for no less than (insert your number of hours). I said 48 but a couple of times I made...

Yes please do let us know. I hope that everything is ok. I have been watching daily for your update. Your difficult child and mine, pull the same tactics, not necessarily a good thing Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app

I love the way you put that Janet. Even with all the pain, the fear, the tears, and the frustration, I wouldn't want to give up any of the smiles, the laughter, the joy of raising that beautiful kind loving boy. I hope someday he will reappear as a beautiful kind loving man. I too am glad I...

Sorry for your pain and fear JKF. I too have very similar fears with my difficult child. He is about 2000 miles away now but planning any way he can to come back to the west coast. At least this is what I hear. Every conversation or text with him in the last month had been confrontational. I am praying for...
