[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 763441, member: 4152"] This is an old thread I think by Midwest mom aka BM and other monikers. I think it might be true. Something like this happened in our family. An event so harmful/upsetting/over the top and revealing it became clear that no matter how much effort (time/money/sacrifice) we as parents put into the situation …things were not going to change. The ONLY HOPE at all is VERY likely IF the adult “child” him or herself makes personal efforts to change. We can’t do it for them. Recently, it dawned on me that we as parents become sort of “vulnerable” individuals. After decades of abuse and futile efforts, it’s easy to fall prey to others who don’t truly wish us well. Many lessons for us all. Difficult ones. Stay safe…aware…happy. [/QUOTE]
