[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757024, member: 18958"] Dear Overwhelmed. Please try not to attack yourself. I do it too. Lets both of us try to stop it. This is very, very hard what we are going through. And on top of it, the Coronavirus. It's like isolation on top of isolation. I am tremendously worried about my own son, too. And angry, too, because he never learns. He keeps putting himself back, and me with him, into the same peril. I begged him to not leave the Sober Living Home, where he was secure, and he would not listen. He's back in the big metro near me, staying with a friend, where he has been homeless multiple times. He has no security there. And I won't take him back again. He has a chronic illness. He needs to be stable to take his medication. And now with this coronavirus. Why would he put everything on the line? I know the answer. He does not think of consequences. And what he will do is try to show up again to the house I own, and I will have to turn him away. With the police, if need be. Your story is every bit as dramatic x 2. And you wonder why it's so hard.... This forum exists for people in our situation to post. Please don't question that. I don't like to think about it, because when I write it feels so intimate, like I am writing just to you but there are many, many people who read these threads who never post. When you post you post not for yourself, but for the many, many people who are also in our same boat. [/QUOTE]
