[QUOTE="Yona, post: 698139, member: 20704"] Thank you mof for your reply- and for the brief glimpse you have shared in to the worries you are coping with for your son. I'm new to this forum but what is helpful to me already is being able tell others whats going on in my family and not feel like I'm a complete failure as a parent or feel ashamed - so many loving parents trying to find the best way to support their children and not giving up or giving in. I can identify with the sadness and frustration you feel. For me it's because I feel powerless to protect or comfort him. What you have said to me makes me think that maybe if I model for him that I am getting some help it may make him think about getting some help - do you think it could make a difference to his attitude? I have not felt able to do things on my own when not working because even if he won't go out to do anything with me I don't want to extend his periods of aloneness - so I stay around just so there are 2 people in the house I'm glad to hear your son is coming home and I hope very much this will work out for all of you [/QUOTE]
