[QUOTE="DDD, post: 416474, member: 35"] I'm sorry you are in this lose/lose situation. I wish I had an answer for you but I don't. The ball is in their court and they have chosen to live this life. If SB truly won't seek any avenues of help I don't see any hope the situaton will improve. It's hard to admit defeat (especially when you absolutely know you are correct) but at this juncture I think you have to keep your distance and focus on your own mental and physical health. That way when "it hits the fan" you will be strong enough to provide the support they are going to need. Sadly, our children (with our encouragement) have accepted that husband and I have chosen to focus on our adult grandsons. We do not deal with stealing or emotional shutdowns but we, too, are still working as our savings have been depleated to the point we can't reture. The circumstances are a bit different but our easy child kids are not happy that we can't be normal seniors. Actually...we're not happy about it either but it has been our choice. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
