[QUOTE="always worried mom, post: 755392, member: 24999"] You are very supportive, and you are right, it was way more than a village, since he was very little. My daughter was angry because I put myself and my long time boyfriend in harms way and I didn't discuss with- her what I wanted to do (rescue, again)-he is mentally ill and I'm pretty sure he is using at least marijuna. And like you, have given mult times (printed info, highlited) info on where to get help, meals, shelter, showers, help with housing, etc. He always sees us as the bad guys, never says thank you for anything, he is , I don't think capable at this point to see that he has a problem/needs help. But then why am I expecting normal behavior...….. My daughter now says she is only going to tell me what is going on with him if it is an Emergency - that I need to be happy, live my life - but , as when she was small, she has this burden? Double guilt. I've tried NAMI group, my dtr says she will go back with me if I want . I try praying every day for him, I try to read this poem I've got about loving someone from afar / that we can't make people do what they are not ready to do. I am sorry for you and all these other parents going thru this - [/QUOTE]
