[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 708475, member: 20054"] KSM. Having/trying/continually attempted to raise/loft/liberate a Fetal Alcohol Effects (FAE) adult, I know your pain. It is beyond putting into words. My son is 10 yrs. older than your daughter and functions much like her, even now. You've done the best you can, especially now with a 2nd generation, save yourself. I know it's not what you want and it's impossible to figure out. We have done much withdrawing from our son in the last 2 years, coming to realize we can only hope for the better. We have not seen it. We have learned to not ask questions we "don't already know the answer to". When he requests help in a respectful manner, as long as it's not money, we do what we can. Just as we'd do for anyone. Just as I'd do for your child. No comments on what he should do or not do. This does require my forgetting that he got himself into this mess at times. It was simply essential that we let go before we lost "us". I really thought I was close to a breakdown in every sense. Don't be me. Draw lines and stay out of her mess if you can possible do this. Pasa's right. While we don't like to be manipulated, that "skill" may save them. NOW save you. [/QUOTE]
