[QUOTE="Weary Mother, post: 693247, member: 20487"] Hello RNO441: Thanks for your input. It really is hard on mothers. The story of my daughter includes addictions, both prescription drugs that were given for chronic health issues, and street drugs. She has never thrived, although when she was your son's age she had promise. At that age she mismanaged money, made bad friends, was openly defiant and hostile to anyone who challenged her and partied her life away. She was cute, small and smart. Over the years and after much mismanaging, bad friend, terrible boyfriends and a mentally disabled daughter that was in and out of the state and community hospitals causing my daughter to lose jobs and become dependent upon welfare, she is now 46, overweight, no longer cute, and has no support system. I keep thinking that if I try hard enough to instill inspiration in her, she can get a fresh start. She complains that due to her health she has a hard time being on her feet long enough to keep a job, has filed for disability and is waiting on a decision, which I am sure will be denial, and in the mean time is homeless due to long term dependency on her older daughter whom she just had a terrible fight with resulting in her being thrown out. Part of her health issues include severe depression, past suicide attempts which landed her in the hospital nearly dead and a refusal to get counseling and will only do so in order to obtain the prescription medications they give her. I just appreciate input here and will continue to read and look for truly supportive posts. I really do want to help her, but am blocked by her refusal to help herself, she does not see her problems like others do and feels that all is over for her, there is nothing for her to live for any longer.
