[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 764205, member: 13558"] Don't feel guilty for keeping your private life private. I do the same. I have found dealing with my out of control adult child is stressful enough without judgements and advice from others. Especially well meaning advice from family. My son has finally matured enough to not post dramatic suicide poems on FB so people can call me at 3am to inform me. I live in a different state thank goodness. My child has just broken up with his girlfriend of 5 years. More drama, more money requests. She sent me a message at midnight last night. I've decided to ignore it. I am not sure if the drugs caused the mental illnness, or if the mental illness came first. I do know the drugs make the mental problems much worse. Drugs magnify everything. There are some books you can find in the library to help with detachment, guilt, letting go of your dreams for this loved one and accepting this life for them. None of it is easy. Find hobbies, a way to relax. The stress is unbearable and I honestly don't think people understand unless they walk in our shoes. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
