[QUOTE="witzend, post: 598760, member: 99"] I don't know if this is really is an entirely different issue than al-anon. Different, to be sure. But the roadblocks are similar. I know that for us and M, it all hangs by a thread, too. What to do to make it better? I have no clue. He's depressed at the [I]best[/I] of times, and as we know, there's no sympathy from society for that if you can't pick yourself up by the bootstraps which is the problem in a nutshell. As far as talking to them or helping? Are we the anchor that ties them down or the apron string? I think it's extra frustrating four us and our difficult child's because we have been up and down this road too many times to believe we have the cure, and somehow we still hope they can find the cure if they [I]just...[/I] something. I wish I knew. All I can say is that I hope you both will be well. [/QUOTE]
