[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 763431, member: 1550"] I'd love to know how to force a grown up to get help and act right. He failed to explain how. Because there is no way. If there was, he would have explained it. "You have to do it or it's your fault" doesn't say what we should do or how. Maybe he had a loved one who died and blames his parents. He does not share his story. Where is runaway bunny? Whoever this is, he wrongly gives parents/loved ones power we don't have over our cherished adult children. God, if only we could force them. But nobody has control over another adult. Nobody. Not even the poster who thinks he does It won't make ME feel guilty again, but I worry about newbies and lurkers. If only we could force them to get well! My advice to him and everyone is to go to NarAnon. What you here there is the truth. It's how it is. And any rehab program will tell you that you can't control the adult addict. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
