[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 699977, member: 20814"] Kailoani, my heart goes out to you. We are struggling with a similar issue with our daughter, without the added complication of younger children, and our daughter is older than your son. I remember being very concerned for our daughter at the beginning of her problems when she was around 20 years old, and spent lots of time worrying, sleepless, and anxious. It is normal that you are concerned and frustrated that he won't accept help. It's hard not to want to step in. It is very difficult to detach oneself from a near adult child who is in the beginning stages of adulthood. Hang in there. There's always the hope that he is mourning his grandfather's death and has not quite adjusted to the addition of a new family, and this is how he is coping. I agree with what others have said, that the banquet of help is in front of him. I spent way too much time being frustrated with my daughter's inability to stick with any kind of help offered, and it took a long time to see that it was her life, not mine. [/QUOTE]
