[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747185, member: 18958"] [LEFT][COLOR=rgb(20, 20, 20)]These family members are tripping on you. This is wrong and mean. And it is inappropriate and it is disrespectful. I would tell each one of them one time: [I]Please do not bring up my son, complain about him to me, or tell me what I should or should not be doing. I will make my own decisions which are not open to discussion. [/I] Every single one of them, if they persist, I would stop seeing and speaking to them. No matter who they are. If there is a question, I would tell the truth.[I] I asked you please to stop. You chose not to.[/I] So the four year old is homeless with his parents, and CPS won't do anything? Geez.[/COLOR][/LEFT] Mentally ill people have free will too. They are responsible for the consequences of their acts, too. They are capable of learning, too. There are many mentally ill people, by far the majority, that lead productive and meaningful lives. This is really disrespectful to mentally ill people, to presume they cannot live lives of dignity and responsibility. The vast majority can and do. That's ridiculous that these family members are expressing that you should rescue him. They could rescue him, too. Let them. I am concerned about the child. Less so, the parents. My town is filled with recovering drug addicts, because we are located on a highway where Meth has been trafficked and made since the early 90's.

If these meth users were not mentally ill before they used, they most likely were after they quit. And not all of it goes away. But try and try these people do. I have great respect for them. This same choice is available to your son and his wife. The only thing you can do for him is to stay away. The more he hurts you and fouls your nest, the worse it is for him, let alone you. We do not help our kids by letting them destroy us or our stuff or our homes. That's a form of enabling. Your son is acting outside of the bounds of normalcy, let alone respectability. You would not have tolerated it when he was 4 years old. There is no need to tolerate it now. There is a point where there can be no longer be trying by us, if they are not trying at all for themselves. [/QUOTE]
