[QUOTE="KFld, post: 93363, member: 2442"] Nobody who doesn't live it day to day can possibly understand what it is like. I stopped trying to expect anyone else to understand. I knew how exhausted I was by my difficult child and after awhile that was all that mattered. My difficult child is a 20 year old recovering heroin addict. He has been clean for over a year. He was not able to accomplish this until I stopped enabling him and supporting his habit. He now has an apartment with a new girlfriend, which if you look back at any of my posts from around a year ago, you will learn how much that means to me. Believe me, he's far from perfect, but he's working full time and learning to be financially independent. This is huge for him. This is the first time in his life he has been able to save money from week to week to pay his own bills. You are doing the right thing. You can't change what others feel they need to do for him, but you are doing the right thing. [/QUOTE]
