Not sure where to post this. My niece is having some issues. Not sure if they are drug-related, psychiatric related, or a combination of both. She doesn't have health insurance and I'm trying to figure out a way for her to see a psychiatrist or someone who might be able to help. I don't...

There is a FB video on the page Juggling The Jenkins Blog dated February 2nd regarding enabling versus loving. Very powerful stuff.

It’s been a while since I made a post, probably over a year, not that I really posted much. I was going to write out some history of the last few years with my son, but to tell you the truth, everything is getting blurred time wise. Needless to say he’s stolen from us, stolen from a business...

My son is leaving again tomorrow. We are out of ideas of how to help him. His father and I have tried everything. This was his third time coming back home and he’s blown it again. Long story short…after seeing that he was not trying to improve his life and not saving any money whatsoever...

Ok, does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? Been having issues with Difficult Child for a couple years. I've been feeling a bit down the last couple of months as some major things have happened (don't want to get into it all at the moment). So, my niece announces that she's pregnant and then a...

I haven't posted in a long time. Things are NOT going well. I don't want to get into it all now but I think I need to go to an Al-Anon meeting but am scared and uncertain. I'm not a very outgoing, talkative person and pretty much keep to myself. I need some courage to get my butt out the...

Just when you think things are looking up, something else happens to bring one’s hopes crashing down. I mentioned a few months ago that my son’s roommate found drug paraphernalia in their apartment. He was going to kick my son out then but decided to let him stay. Well last night, he found...

He’s blown what I think is his last chance. My son moved 6 hours away with a friend who really wanted to help him. This friend is the real deal, doesn’t do drugs, doesn’t drink, etc. Told my son if he broke the rules (no drugs) then he’d have to leave. They’ve only been there a couple...

My son moved to another state about a month ago with a friend who is trying to help him. Difficult Child found a job at a bar and restaurant working 4 until about midnight. His friend called me today and filled me in on an incident. A few nights ago the bar was broken into. Surveillance video showed a...

For those of you have DCs who move to another state, what type of experiences have they had? My son’s friend who has been helping him (although he stepped back a bit in the last couple weeks) is going to be moving in the upcoming months to get a job in a different state. My Difficult Child said he wants to...

It’s been a while since I posted (not that I posted a ton in the past though). Guess I just need to type some stuff out and know everyone here will understand. My husband and I kicked our son out in December. He had stolen from us (and his sister) several times and when I found checks missing...

I’ve been reading these boards for a couple of months and hoping I wouldn’t have to post. Alas, here I am. Just wanted to start with thanking all of you…your posts and discussions have been very helpful to me, especially knowing that I am not alone in all this. Here’s my story: Up until...
