[QUOTE="freakchick39, post: 614771, member: 17466"] wow. hard to follow such deep heartfelt replies youve already gotten but I also wanted to say im sorry your hurting. I am having a rough time as well on top of my issues with my son the holidays are especially rough. we moved across country 7 years ago leaving our family behind, shortly after leaving my father died unexpectedly. Soon to follow my mother went just as fast. Financially speaking we are in ruins, so this year there is no tree, there won't be any presents, and I doubt highly we will even having dinner . I've been thinking a lot lately of Christmas past , we spend every year at my aunts. We have been around the table sharing laughs , then move to the living room to sit around the tree and exchange our gifts . You never truly understand how important family is until you don't have it anymore. Then you remember each of your family members and their idiosyncrasies , and realize that those are the things that make life worth living my son is now 18 and everybody I've spoken with about his behavior is urging me to kick him out of the house. And in my heart I know that I just cannot do that. Reading your story has just confirmed my feelings on that. I am sorry for you I can't imagine how horrible you feel . And as I am new to parenting in adults with mental illness and unsure of my own path, I can offer you no guidance or advice, only the well wishes and hopes that you will find relief soon . [/QUOTE]
