[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 729305, member: 20054"] LBL- my eyes are stinging with tears as I read so many renditions of this pain. We, upon asking our son to leave, similar to COPA, heard " I don't know why you ever adopted me, I'm such a disappointment, but what am I supposed to do, you're the only family I've got". I still two years later feel the sting of those words and I know he had me at "you're the only family I've got". The crux is it's true and I love him with all my heart, drug addled, mentally a little off, whatever. Pulling away to try to allow him to figure his own life out has been the hardest thing we've ever done. I never planned on this, in my mind he would become a man happy with himself, a gainful member of society. That has not happened. How do I deal with it? I come here, finding others who are in my boat and taking what comfort there is in that. As I reread this, I realize how bad I still feel when I drop my guard. Thank you all for your honesty today. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
