[QUOTE="PattyK, post: 730615, member: 22937"] Thank you for responding. All three of you had such encouraging comments. It is so very hard to detach when you feel that without loving support there’s no way for them to thrive. But I can see that they need to be working as hard as mom and dad are. And SomewhereOutThere I forget to pay more attention to his actions than words. Thank your for the reminder. He spent his late tee/early 20’s being high instead of learning how to do life. He’s a terrified 13 year old in a 31 year old body. But his defiance to authority is his real downfall. One step forward two steps back. I am trying to find the courage to act. If i make him leave, I am pretty certain he will go back to living under a bush and fall back to heroin. I guess what really hangs me up is wondering if his mental health issues are such that he simply can’t move forward on his own. But all of this is crazy talk because he simply needs to get out on his own. Sink or swim. It feels like every day he stays here is one more day that robs him of the necessity to learn how to do life independently. [/QUOTE]
