[QUOTE="Beta, post: 764290, member: 22597"] I could really use some feedback on how to detach from an adult child with mental issues/addiction. Our son, Josh, 33 yo, is homeless in Phoenix, with no phone, no I.D., and we haven't heard from him in almost three months. Some days I manage to deal with it okay, but then other days I feel like I'm slipping back into a pit of despondency. As a Christian, I know that God is in control; that He loves Josh and wants the best for him; and that only He can do anything more in his life to help. We've done it all; it hasn't worked; and now we CAN'T do anything because we no longer have a way to reach him. (We live in the southeast). Here's my question: Are there any of you out there who have lost contact with your adult child for a long period of time? How do you deal with the grief and not allow it to overwhelm you? [/QUOTE]
