[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 709141, member: 18516"] I think this is on page of the Adult Difficult Child handbook! I understand your friends mean well but listen to your gut. This can be dangerous waters. Many times with my son when I would reach out he would interpret it that he could again start asking for money and help and when I would turn him down I was the recipient of his rage and hatefulness. I have no doubt that you will get through this. Notice, I did not say get over this, but through this. Dealing with our adult difficult children is not something we will ever "get over" but we can and should continue to live our own lives and that helps us get through it. The shock, the pain, the tears, they do lessen over time. When I found out my son was once again in jail, it made me sad of course but I was able to process it and move on really within a matter of minutes. I was able to share here on this site about him being back in jail and that small thing, just being able to share it with people who "really get it" is such a gift to my spirit.
