[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 686645, member: 18958"] Nature, I know how hard it is to deal with multiple fronts. You are doing the impossible and doing it with dignity, dedication and grace. My son is mentally ill, too. With multiple hospitalizations. He is getting better. I believe he got better because I refused him. I set boundaries. I let him deal with consequences. I refused to deal with him unless he behaved civilly and correctly. You are doing the right thing. I believe that. With our mentally ill adult children, or drug-addicted ones, society is equipped to teach them and to support them. I believe this is not the work or responsibility of mothers. Take care. Stay well. Try to find and protect moments contentment for yourself. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
