I know this is an old post. However, there may be parents out there going through a similar problem. I will give you my personal experience of this common problem with 504 law. I went through this with my son during his high school senior year. As a teacher, I knew he was entitled to this...

My son had an episode 4 years ago. I found him and he was taken to the ER. He was placed under induced coma. I was there, but deep down angry with him. I was tired of the drama. He was hurting but refused to meet with me for understanding and closure. When he woke up, he was upset because "It...

Most definitely if it affects you financially, then do not do it. When my son was told to leave I was giving him $1000 a month because I did not want him to suffer financially. He still had to get a job , but I quickly realized that the money sent was "his frivolous spending money". I confronted...

You do what you have to do. Maybe this anecdote can help- I took my son to a local barbershop when he was around twelve years of age. (We were new to the area .) The barber recently came from Cuba and telling me that he escaped his country looking for a better life for his kids. He was a college...

I feel for you and get it. Believe me. You know, I believe men do not or ever will understand the love of a mother. Pray. Know we are there for you. We get it.

You know. There are many good reasons as to why we had to make harsh decisions when it comes to our adult children. We may argue , try to reason with them, and all falls to deaf ears . But, bottom line, they are our children no matter what age they are. As a mother, I cannot live a full, happy...

I totally understand. He is asking for help though. I'm pretty sure that took a lot from him. I would give him a timeline and a strict set of rules to follow along with a reminder as to why he was told to leave along with a warning. Pray it kicks in. There is a chance it will take several tries...

I know. I misread for a second. But I understand. :) My mistake is thinking that these organizations just focus on this. I had no idea people go there because of problems with family members. Good to know. Thank you Copa.

Thank you for the advice. You know, because of my religious upbringing and later self dissociation from this, I just cringe when around anything involving church. My parents were in a very cult like religion and everything was a sin. Yes. I cringe. I'm pretty sure these organizations have helped...

Trying to learn to grow from life experiences

I want to thank everyone for responding. I really value your input. :)

Yes. My mistake was allowing her to move into my home. The reasons given to me were "shady". He said she had to leave her parents home due to private matters with a family member. My son's quote: "you can't punish the victim." He knew I would say OK even though I did not want this type of drama...

:) Thank you so much!!!

I had to tell my adult son (28 yrs old) and his new girlfriend to leave my home for similar reasons. He suffers from Bipolar disorder and it worried me to do this. But, I couldn't take it anymore after a quiet argument I had with him about bringing strangers to my home.I regret it everyday; but...
