MII, Yes, ! It's about time your 52 yr old daughter stops blame and accepts her own bad decisions. This is not fair and honestly manipulative and she is a bully. You loved her and your grandson with everything you have in your soul, I am certain. I do not know you but I can feel it with your...

Hello, My 22 year old just called me saying he will be homeless in 2 weeks, his landlord evicting him and he has been using threats of not wanting to live anymore. Although I have avoided his calls, I just took one and "wrong" choice on my part. After 20 minutes of unloading garbage, negative...

Hello Lostinsadness, Thank you so much for your words of wisdom. I have tried private therapy and it has helped some. I stopped over the last 18 months and also gave up medications to calm me which I felt I had to be a big girl Mom and give up. Now we are back to the roller coaster again. I...

Incredible post. sounds like my 22 year old son except he has just progressively begun the guilt and depression and major drama the last 4 years since he graduated from HS. Your story makes me want to block his number. It's been non-stop drama and problems with drugs, DUI arrest and moving...

Thank you for your wise words!!!! Same here..I though money, love, faith would take my guilt away. But they don't appreciate it until the time is right , I suppose? Bless you and thank you so much!!! This board has given me some serenity and peace.

I understand your pain. My husband also doesn't want to talk about my son's issues..he doesn't live with us and could not because my husband will not allow, has zero forgiveness for drug and laziness. As a mother and grandmother it hurts deeply and I can tell your hope those few days a month...
