My daughters next court date is June 16th and since she has been in for 6 months now feel as if she might get time served and get out. Her calls are becoming more and more frequent, we do not accept them but, it’s making me very nervous. We are her only form of help, she will be on the streets...

Since my daughter tried to call from the jail last week has me thinking….should I write her a letter or not? She should already know why we are not answering her calls - bailing her out - not visiting her - no money on her books. She has never understood boundaries and just keeps at us until...

This in itself is becoming a living hell, continuation of yet another court date. Nothing really was put as public information only that a new date has been set for June. Was really hoping they were going to send her off to a state hospital for a bit and receive the mental help she so...

We tend to come here and pour our hearts out seeking support in others. All of the wonderful advice given by all during a crisis made me think….what about after? How are we really looking out for ourselves day to day? As we know the crisis will be adverted eventually and our need to be strong...

Daughter has been in jail since November 2023, called us a few times last year, we declined each call. Well….out of the blue today…..collect call from ** county jail. You have no funds on the account…..*click* Did not accept the call. WHY keep trying us, think we changed our minds? I am in a...

It sounds like such a straightforward statement: let go and let God. Easy to say but not so easy to do. Right? People who say that don’t necessarily have your life with its stress, worries, fears and problems. Or maybe it’s just me thinking this way? So “let go and let God” may seem simple, but...

My son is a phone sales representative and we went over to his home yesterday to active our new phones. He did not want us to wait around at the store, so set it all up the day before and only had to call in for the activation. Even though we can put our own glass screen protectors on, he did...

Hope everyone had a very nice day today. For me today is my daughter’s birthday she turned 32. I woke up this morning trying to shake her loose out of my mind. Thoughts of does she know what day it is in jail? Thoughts of last year buying her an ice cream cake and gifts for the new car she had...

My sincere condolences to you first of all. 💔💐 Because of my daughter attempting suicide in the past, combined with her numerous mental health issues, she is very high risk for a completed attempt. Reading about this subject has mentioned an invaluable source of help, even with specific groups...

My daughter’s birthday is coming up this week and she is spending it in jail. 😔 March 1st has been 1 year since she decided to leave our home, have not seen her since. It’s so difficult to not rush in this time, to go see her while she is in jail, to ignore her calls to bail her out and changed...

I see things so much clearer today, I read every book and article that I can get my hands on. Thinking on my whole situation with my daughter it’s like stages, almost as if when someone close to us dies…. Stage 1 - is what I am calling the active stage. Rushing to her rescue time and again...

Most times we put too much on ourselves concerning our adult children. We are either enablers and or co-dependants to them. We do so out of immense love, caring, fear of what will happen to them if we don’t “fix” the situation at hand. We must first break free of our own cycle and give...

Hello everyone, I have read so many of your stories….big hugs to all! 🤗 My story is of my 31 year old daughter, who has multiple mental issues including schizophrenia. She refuses therapy or medications unless court ordered or is on medication while in jail. Soon as she is released from jail...
