[QUOTE="klmno, post: 478199, member: 3699"] I'm not suggesting that any of us turn our backs if we think there is any minute reason to think our kid, or anyone, is about to kill him/herself. But it appears to me that Kathy's daughter is manipulating the koi out of her. She says she wants it to stop but it doesn't appear to me she's willing to do anything to make it stop. It appears to me that all her actions are bandaid solutions that in actuality, allow the hamster wheel to keep turning. It appears to me that the answers Kathy is asking for and the only ones many are willing to accept are 'answers' that serve only to keep that hamster wheel going- as if any other answer would be giving up as a parent or accepting failure as a parent or some other horrible thing, which is not really true. I'll leave it alone there. I'm not here to argue. ETA: I don't think I suggested that Kathy shouldn't come to the board and vent or ask questions or anything else. And yes, I have been to an Alanon meeting. No they don't have all the answers- this board doesn't and no place does. I won't even bother addressing the insinuation that I haven't lived thru traumatic chaos with my son or in my life. [/QUOTE]
