[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763133, member: 4152"] Welcome. We never truly wanted a conservator ship type of situation as the truth is you have no control of your adult child and I suppose it could present legal problems under certain circumstances. It sounds like you have a more or less ok situation set up now. We find it best to set up boundaries and stick to them. Not permitting any abusive behavior at all. We’ve had some therapy over the years and it’s been very helpful. These things are deeply private, personal and painful. We also went to a few meetings of Families Anonymous and like their literature. We’ve set up a lot of boundaries now, especially after a deeply troubling incident. Boundaries are imperative. Just saw…our adult child has a little similar behaviors/diagnosis. Very very difficult stuff. As a new person, remember to do your best to protect your identity …not mentioning any identifying info like your state, jobs etc. [/QUOTE]
