[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 120264, member: 1722"] {{{Hugs}}} I'm so sorry for the pain your family is feeling. Could you maybe call someone from Al-Anon and ask for advice and the names of counselors that may help difficult child process what he is going through? My mother is an alcoholic and drug abuser and mentally ill. She tends to treat her family with indifference or outright hostility. The only thing that has helped me with this is that I received a very consistent message from the other adults in my life that #1 It was not my fault #2 It was her illness at the root of her behavior The net result of this is that I've been able to have a pretty clear and healthy view of my mother. Perhaps your difficult child needs to have someone impartial help him come to understand the facts of his aunt's life and death. [/QUOTE]
