[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 746640, member: 18958"] I so agree with this. I think this whole forum boils down to this (and parents trying to survive). We are all in agreement with this. But the thing is, this goes with the territory. He has hung on for a while with this program because they have held on. The treatment facility with their lack of rigidity, their patience with him, their lack of black and white thinking, their support, not personalizing things, has modeled for us, how to respond, to these adult children. With my own son, when the situation moves closer to his coming back, (and I want this), my stomach gets tight, and the pain starts, and with that, the panic, and I become fearful. How will I do this? This, the facility does not have. They are not parents. They are helpers. But still, I believe that what we are striving for is just this neutrality. I agree with SWOT that texts (while I don't much like them) do help us cut to the chase and not react AS personality to hurtful and peripheral craziness; our own or theirs. [/QUOTE]
