[QUOTE="Hopeful parent, post: 755896, member: 21585"] Busynmember, I read your post. I have three children, my youngest is adopted, yet I have a good relationship with him. It is my natural son who we have these problems with. So it is different in each family I guess. It is so sad for us all when we love a child and raise them and then this happens. I think the mental anguish of constantly wondering where I have gone wrong. I should have done this, I should not have done that etc etc is the worse for me. I guess we can only hope that one day our missing love one may get well. For me I live in hope. But at the moment I need to cut him off - what I am doing is not working. Okie girl, I also block my son and then unblock him all the time, as most of the stuff I read says we should always let them know we are there for them. But i think there is a line where this can no longer apply. It comes down to our own mental health and I really believe if I don't cut him and his toxic partner out of my life I'm the one that is not going to make it. Knowing this though does not make it any easier to do. So I need to be strong. [/QUOTE]
