[QUOTE="compassion, post: 483906, member: 6393"] I think guilt is so destructive. I personally think brains are wired differently. I am still in process to lower my expecatations, be realsitic. I have a similar ssituation with a son who is 21 and he is not functioing very high right now. He has one week left of 2 classes (Junior in college). We are paying for him to get unarmed secuity license so he will have a skill to get a job. I have to set very clear boundaries as he is very impulsive and will spend as soon as he has it. I donot live under the dame roof which helps a lot but the patience it takes for the baby steps is incrdible. If he reallyh cannot do the traing and then do the steps to get a job, we will push harder for treatment. He said he was very depressed last month. It has been about qa year since he has really worked. Full time college was sttempted but he has barely gone at all and do not know if he is going to pass. I want to be firm, yet compassionate. I try to stay positve. I donot think shame is helpful. I try to stay a hopeful advocate. [/QUOTE]
