[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 638059, member: 13558"] Overwhelmed, When my children were small a coworker was having a really bad time with her son. He dropped out of school, would not work, suspected drugs, girlfriend became pregnant. They let the couple live with them trying to help them. After the baby was born they kicked the son to the curb. He wasn't trying and was blatantly using drugs in their home. Then the young mother quit her job 'cause she could not get off to take her 3 month old trick or treating. Things were missing from the home so they offered to take the baby, but mother had to go. I thought they were so mean and didn't understand the young couple!!! Fast forward to my son being born and way too soon I was having my own nightmare at home and I completely was taught a life lesson. No one knows how bad it is unless you are living in the life of the difficult child! Sadly, my grown difficult child continues to make bad judgment call after bad judgment call. And he is involved with someone just like him. That makes sense, like attracts like! Please read all of the books you can get your hands on about enabling, drug abuse, detachment. Join a group or therapy if you can find one. I was not lucky enough to have a good group to help me. Posting on this forum (and reading the other posts) helps tremendously. They are adults and your job as a mother has shifted. My 36yo and girlfriend would still be unemployed and sleeping in my sofa if I let them! Take care of yourself, do not feel guily. It is difficult enough, but add a baby to the mix and it does make things harder. (((hugs we know how hard this is))) [/QUOTE]
