[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 505463, member: 13558"] Thank you everyone, it was a bad day! I know what to do but my 'protect my child' mode kicked in and I have to keep reminding myself that he is no longer a child, even if he acts like one. I had to get back to 'protect myself' mode. I needed to have mothers going through the same thing reinforce my decisions. Society (and families) look down on mothers that 'don't fall in front of the train' to save the kid much more than the dads. I was also let down 'cause I thought he was doing so much better, but I was in denial, the signs were there. Yes, you can tell when they start to relaspe. Even though I did not see him in person I could tell from the phone conversations, that here we go again. In our small town we do not have alanon, but I have been A LOT before and I found online alanon support. I read all of the info and made plenty of notes to refer back to. I had to get past the emotions and look at the situation. And as alanon points out, it is sad to see adults in the 30s+ that will financially ruin the 60+ parents and not think give it a second thought. I also have a very supportive, not emotionally attached husband. My daughter has been feeling guilty that she can't let him live with her, but she has 2 teen PCs and I told her not to feel guilty cause it would not be a good idea for her household. [I]HE PROBABLY WOULD STILL BE THERE AT 55 YO!!!! [/I]Have a great day everyone. [/QUOTE]
