[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 696818, member: 1550"] My point was 20 isn't a baby. Some adult kids are less mature. Nothing wrong with rehab. I have struggled with mental illness too...all my life. I was in a psychiatrIc hospital for ten weeks once and two other times, although a while ago, and complied with help. I was very immature, although married at 20, and really had no support from first hub or family. I really believe people who are different grow up faster and do better if we are not there to pick them up. I hated doing everything for my mental health treatment alone, but if I didn't, nobody else would. At some point most parents do stop the money flow and the paying for things and although it can take time, that seems to be when most addicts start finally doing better. But you are both very kind and this has to be your own paths. It takes a while to get to that point... a parental Rock bottom, so to speak. You are both loving and very kind and I wish you and your son's well. I hope you don't have to hit rock bottoms. It's not a fun trip getting there and you don't plan it. It just happens. Good luck!
