[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 621066, member: 13542"] JKF, in spite of the pain, you sound clear minded and healthy. This is the line in the sand. Sad to say, that is my daughter as well. She fits so many different profiles, narcissist, sociopath, anti social, bi polar, severe anxiety, depression.............her IQ is off the charts, she has a remarkable aptitude for numbers can memorize a credit card # seeing it flash by once..............and remember it a year later.........she was an honors student without trying.............she remembers everything...........her brain is wired so differently then others............which all often comes with mental illness...............and prompted me to continue enabling long after I should have given up............ And, just like you, right now, there is a line in the sand.............she is in jail. As your son will be shortly. They just can't fit anywhere and they make such poor choices...............but in any case, you are doing the right thing. I am doing the right thing. And, I am sorry you are going through all of this. I remember last March when he was coming home and you were frightened. A year later and you are so much stronger. So am I. Our kids are the same. [I]But we are not. [/I] That's acceptance. That's freedom. As always JKF, holding you close............we've been circling the wagons around each other..............look around we're all here................the whole gang..............you've got us! Sending you gentle hugs.............glad you're here............ [/QUOTE]
