[QUOTE="LoveMyDuke, post: 310861"] Thanks for the comments. SO is not mentally ill or depressed. This I am certain of. Whatever is going on with him, it is not mental illness or drug/alcohol abuse. As for me--let me be arrogant for a moment. I am probably the most self-aware person I know. No one knows the oddity and dysfunction of my situation better than I. Moving is simply not an option. My sister lives 3 hours away in a small town, which would make for a challenging commute. I choose not to go into great detail about it, but do not assume finances are at issue. I was hoping to learn about how others deal with their mentally ill kids through this board. I wasn't so much soliciting relationship advice. It's kinda like when I talk to my friend who is in a bad marriage...I don't tell her to leave, I support her and listen and give whatever advice I can, but I never say "leave." That is HER choice. I never assume to know what the best course of action is for another person. So with that, I think I'll linger here without posting anymore and see how others have responded to others' situations.
