[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 748895, member: 23405"] Poppy. I’m sorry for your heartache. I have 2 sons that are homeless and although the 30 yr old hasn’t been diagnosed most definitely has psychological issues. The younger son 26 has ADHD and smokes pot regularly. When married and our family was altogether we had altercations with the law too and son arrested etc. it is just heartbreaking because we morn the loss for which we hoped we’d have. I agree with what others have said in that it’s important to take care of yourself. When people started telling me that I thought (with all due respect) they were nuts. But it’s the truth. You’ve taken some good steps to getting yourself back in balance by talking to healthy people. Try to find quiet time to meditate and connect with God asking Him to help you accept the situation and turn your son’s care over to Him. If like me you may have to keep doing that over and over. Ask God to change you so you have the courage and strength to do the right thing. Be gentle with yourself.
