[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 670189, member: 19522"] Hi Wavering, I'm on my break so just a quick note. You have received a lot of great comments and sharing. So sorry for your need to be here, it is definitely a place to get help and guidance. I am compelled to jot off a fast post to you because of your parents comment that you " have to help". By not helping, you are helping. We tried to help our two for many years under a cultural code that says you do not turn your back on family, no matter what, ever. I do not think that is even correct, because in many olelo noe'au or Hawaiian proverbs there are old sayings geared to a value system of working together. There is nothing "working" when an adult child lives at home and sucks the life out of everyone there. I will write more later, after work. I wish the best for you and yours, this is tough. Very very tough. Hang in there dear we are all routing for you. You are not alone. Leafy [/QUOTE]
