[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 528740, member: 7170"] Welcome Denise - at first couldn't figure why this post was on parenting forum but after reading yes now I get it. Was a little surprised at how family dynamics was sounding similar to mine. I play the part of your dad - there but trying to keep distance and stay out of middle of it. You the part of my 15yo - headphones on trying to stay out of the line of fire. My 27yo son plays the parts of both your mom & sister - an adult but stuck at home because of $$$, working a plan to get out on own but frustrated its not progressing on time table they want. how is he the mom? Oh yah its him & Angel screaming at each other all the time that is making this whole place toxic. The good news is it doesn't sound like you got an Angel stabbing anyone with a pencil over eating her cookie. (it was years ago please don't anyone start online petition to get her jailed LOL) As far as trying to change sis or mom - my mom is 81 yo and there is no changing her - she believes mental illness is all in your head, if you pretend something doesn't exist it doesn't, she is right and its the whole world that's wrong, oh and out to get her. If anyone had magic answer how to change someone else's behavior this site would have it on a permanent post at top of this forum. Sounds like your whole family is in a time of transition, might suggest that mom join an online support group for parents of difficult child's transitioning. It's within her comfort zone (unless like my mom and thinks computers are evil) anyone not saying what she wants to hear she just skips their post. At the very least she will know not alone and probably get some more ideas on how to ease the transition time because it looks like her baby birds are getting ready to test their wings. [/QUOTE]
