[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 642356, member: 18238"] There was nothing long or rambling about your post. Its not easy to put these things into words, especially online. Just seems to make it too.....real. We have had similar issues with our difficult child but without the gambling, or for that matter the working. He turns 20 in a few months and I have more hours on my part time job in the last 4 months that he has in his life. As far as support groups, it really depends what you need. We talk to our pastor from time to time although he retires next week so wont have that outlet. We also have access to free counseling through work so when it gets bad we can do that. It offers us 6 sessions per incident with unlimited incidents so works out pretty well. Best thing I have found is just reading through old posts. Also, read the article on detachment, its worth its weight in gold! Good luck and dont be afraid to post on here if you need help! Its done wonders for us! Sorry, by us I mean Lil and I. She is my wife. [/QUOTE]
