    Heartbroken

    I have been on this post off & on for the past year. My son was hospitalized almost a year ago to the day for suicidal ideations. You can read my story. Anyway, my son has moved to another state. While he was hospitalized, I found out he was spending money I was loaning him while he was...

    My abusive adult daughter

    Good Morning I have not logged in for awhile. I was reading these posts & thinking about my own son this morning. He has not called since Mother's Day. I called about 2 weeks ago and left a message & I have not heard from him. I have felt good about letting him go& getting on with my life, but...

    I think getting in touch with the MH crisis line is a good idea. You are concerned about him getting the correct care, as any mother would be. It is important to take care of yourself.

    I hope all went well, Kat. We have to open our hand to let go, so we can release them and be open to God's new blessings..."They are new every morning." I'm glad your boss & friend are being supportive for you during this difficult time. You are getting stronger every day! Keeping you in my...

    I am in a good, peaceful place for once. This taking care of myself and having some fun is not half bad. Things are not perfect with my son and never will be, but me leaning on God and trusting Him, letting go, getting support, and focusing on what I need is very freeing. Make this a great day...

    Am I A Bad Dad?

    I do not judge you at all for having these feelings about a daughter who has done such horrible things. I think that is some of what continues to get us hooked, (it did for me), to think I had been a "Bad Mom" in some way. I am finding out that it starts with forgiveness of ourselves and to quit...

    Article: Thoughts on letting it go and letting it be

    We commonly get too comfortable in the known—also called being stuck in our “comfort zone.” We refuse to accept what’s new or different because it threatens the current relationship we have with an idea, a thing, or a person. So we fixate harder on what we know so we don’t lose it. This fear of...

    22 year old son with ADHD, depression in debt! Wants me to pay off his loans!

    Wow, this is a lot going on with your son. I read most of the posts & it is overwhelming, just reading them, so I cannot imagine (or I can on some level) ,what you have been going through, as I have over-helped my son as well. (You can look back on my posts). For me, I am gradually detaching and...

    How to stop enabling abusive narcissistic entitled adult children

    Juliette,, I agree with CoriApple. This is abuse and coercion on your daughter's part. I would also contact the Department of Social Services, as there are laws to protect children, elderly, and disabled. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I know you must be in shock and upset...

    Tough decisions, setting boundaries...

    Thank you for your supportive comments. It has been hard to detach from Ryan. There is still wreckage he has left behind; however, we are on speaking terms ( talked to each other on Easter). I think he is still in a lot of denial and it will take some time, I suppose, for him to really grasp...
