[QUOTE="stillhopeful, post: 759506, member: 26448"] I just officially joined this forum, but the warrior parents on this site have been guiding and helping me for the past 7 years. I won't write out the whole, long heartbreaking saga that has kept me glued to this site. However, I will give a brief summary of the past 14 years on son that was adopted at age 4 from foster care. He has two brothers and a sister who are launched and doing ok. Mental health evaluations and counselling until age 26 when insurance no longer available. Bipolar, ADHD, Reactive attachment disorder, major depression, drug addiction Jail X 4 Prison X 1 suicidal ideation - one almost successful attempt resulting in intensive care 7 days Inability to hold a job Homeless X 3 years Rehabs - X 7 - completed only one but relapsed 7 months later. All were short term 30 - 60 days. Not enought to really get clean Graduated high school and complete one year of college. Currently living with a friend over 200 miles away On the positive side - he does not call me names or abuse me in that way. Always says "I love you" when he calls - but is usually asking for something. Husband - his father and my soul mate has been constant strength in dealing with this and was the first to detach. I turned him over to God in 2015 on the advice of some wonderful people on this forum. Also learned about radical acceptance on this site and I pracitice it daily. I have accepted also from this forum that a miracle is not likely. It is his life to live even though I am so very sad he chose this path. So I am living my life, hoping and praying for a change for him and on a very small scale, I am stillhopeful. [/QUOTE]
