[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704392, member: 1550"] Hilli your parents don't live with him. I'm sorry they are not supportive. My own recommendation, which helped me when I needed support, is to find an Al Anon group. Those folks will support you. They understand. NAMI is also good. So is private therapy. Please do get put of bed or you gave up on you. Its not healtjy and a poor exampleexample to yoir othet kids. Many times our difficult kids suck all the oxygen out of a family unit. No one family mber should dictate the well being of all. Please...force yourself to be good to you. Your parents will get it if they step in to interfere and allow your son to live with them. That's often the only way people learn. You are not a child and don't need to please them. There are other ways to get support. Would they have tolerated it if you had behaved like your son while living with them? in my opinion you did what you had to do. Nobody can "give up" on somebody else any more than we can control somebody else. Only the person can give up on himself or control himsrlf We can't change others. Big hugs and sorry for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
