[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 677612, member: 19522"] Hi Lizzie, I am so sorry for your need to be here and your troubles with your son. It is hard when there are issues like this, and our d cs are adults, in the eyes of the law. No matter what, be it drug use or illness, such as depression, it is their responsibility to get help. My two, are using, and have frequent mood swings, including depression. Would you mind filling us in a little more, about your son? It would help to have a bit more information. I know this is hard Lizzie, but this is your home, your sanctuary. Your son has problems, and much like a diabetic or any other chronic disease, he needs to get up and get help. Allowing him to live [I]as is[/I] in your home, take over with his emotions, make YOU feel like leaving, does not help him. He will not see the need to get help, as long as you shelter him. I know this is hard, and you must think "He is ill, how can I NOT help him?" Many of our parents here, are dealing with, or have dealt with similar situations. More will come along and share. Most will tell you, helping them, did not end up helping them. Hugs for your hurting heart. I am very sorry for what you are going through. Stay with us and keep posting. People here understand your situation and will offer support and guidance. There is no right or wrong, this is your journey. You have come to a soft place to land, and vent, and get some really good, first hand information. Welcome to the forum. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
