[QUOTE="newstart, post: 728812, member: 22416"] Tiredmama, I understand your frustration. I know everyone tells us to detach and get on with our own life but damn that is hard when you are trying to make sense of your mentally ill adult grown child. We just want our children to get on track and stay on track forever. I know how hard it is to back away, but I also know how healthy and better it is when we do this for all involved. I know you want to help him, I know you are at your wits end but we really have to learn to let go and let the troubled adult take the blunt of all the bad stuff that they do. I am the worst enabler but I am making it a point to watch it and stop it. Very hard but doable and it is something that I have to think about on a daily basis. I sometimes think our troubled grown adults want us to think they are sicker than they really are so they can keep on bleeding us, like a damn vampire. Since none of my close friends have an adult child as troubled as mine, I have so much graditude for this on line support..I feel your frustration and just know so many really care about you. Since you are sharing your frustration and so many of us are pulling for you, that means it is cut in 1/2. There, can you feel it lighter? I hope so. [/QUOTE]
