[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 755867, member: 23706"] I don't know if we are like minded, but I am sorry your son has caused you pain. My daughter has caused pain. I have two other grown kids who are not like her and I once thought it was my fault but a few years of therapy and Al Anon and and I now know I was a good mom with a difficult child. We did all we could to help/rescue her, but she just did not appreciate it or learn to do better. My two functional kids want nothing to do with the oldest. I feel okay about it. I get it. My other two kids are great. If we were such bad parents, how did we raise these other kids? My younger daughter has custody of my difficult daughter's son. Oldest lives in a camper, homeless, and we are not sure where her and her dysfunctional husband are. My daughter's life choices were not our faults. We did not teach her to do drugs or not work or take from us for the rest of her life. We no longer give. My daughter chose her life. In Al Anon we learned that we didn't cause it, we can't control it and we can't cure it. I believe that. You should believe that too. Yes, they blame us for their deeds, but it's just not true. They don't speak the truth. If you believe in God, give your son to Him. I find great comfort in God. Take care of yourself. You did not cause your son to go off the rails. Hugs [/QUOTE]
