[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 764651, member: 18958"] This is what brings most of us here. I understand how this must feel. Love can be unconditional. But our help can't be without conditions. Because if we don't have a bottom line we lose lose ourselves. If our center of gravity is in our kids we lose ourselves. Me too, with my son. My son, too. Our kids grow up. Without our guidance or our support, left to their own devices, they act in the world in ways we cannot fathom. My son is homeless. He shows no interest at all in working, living as a normal person, or dealing with his addictions. For many years the focus of my life was trying to help him. It only succeeded in making him more manipulative. He cycles between pure indulgence of himself, to trying to get me to take responsibility to help him live in the same old way. If I say no, I know he is on the street, with no money for food or anything else. But if I rescue him, I help perpetuate the problem. Do you see, how love has to have conditions? I am glad you are here. Welcome. I am so sorry for what you're going through. [/QUOTE]
