[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 598092"] My heart goes out to you. I have a friend who has a son who is likely bipolar. He has multiple children. My friend adopted one of them and has financially cared for many of them. Both her and her husband have high paying professional jobs and it financially broke their backs and spirits. When their adopted daughter became a teen, they sent her back to the father (their son) to live with him for summers and whenever he was in better shape. IT was sad on a variety of levels, but she realized that it would break her if she didn't get some relief. Her grand-daughter was showing signs of mental illness as well. Not sure, but I think she also cut back on her financial contributions to the others. She helps, but only when and where she is able and it is appropriate. I think this is probably how we should all look at this very tough situation we find ourselves in. It is good to help out, but it is vital to keep ourselves healthy and our own financial house in order. Praying for your energy, strength, wisdom and peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
