[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 278066, member: 1550"] I have a mood disorder/anxiety disorder/mild Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I called my mom at work until I was stable at 35 :raspberry-tounge:. She would never come though. She'd tell me to call my husband and she'd hang up on me. I would have bad panic attacks and my hub was not a nice man. So I called her, but she set boundaries and insisted I call hub, who didn't care. Nor did she, really. I think it all depends on how high functioning your child is. My son who has autism probably won't ever call me, but he will need some sort of adult to help him out--we are thinking of an assisted living apartment. It's impossible to predict how the kids will turn out. My druggie daughter is highly functional. She quit using and now just bought her own house. It's something we would all like to know, but we have no idea. You CAN put your foot down when they get older, like my mom did. She couldn't just leave work to get her grown kid. She would have gotten fired. At the same time, she detached from me to the point that I truly think she stopped loving me. But that's a whole other story... [/QUOTE]
