[QUOTE="MissLulu, post: 756105, member: 24721"] You know, I've been going to post about this for a while. I think part of why we feel so alone in all of this is because there is so much blame placed on parents. Sometimes it feels like society doesn't expect much of young people at all. It seems universally accepted that all behaviour that strays from the norm is outside of the young person's control and is entirely the fault of their parents. I've been searching online for help and resources for myself. Some of the things I've typed into the search engine have been "Parenting a toxic child", "Detaching from your adult child" and similar. Each time I search I get one or two hits that might be helpful and the rest are all about TOXIC PARENTS. Sadly, I came across Scapegoated Child Syndrome a few week's back. I thought to myself then, "here we go". I'm sure it's only a matter of time before my son accuses me of this. My son sees a psychologist, and while I'm happy about that, I sometimes wonder what lies are being told about our family and whether the psychologist takes everything my son says at face value and believes him, or whether he knows that my son sometimes lies. In any case, I'm so sorry this happened to you. Sometimes it seems like the pain never ends. [/QUOTE]
