[QUOTE="Triedntrue, post: 753732, member: 21499"] I also agree with your decision to limit his visits.it is never the right time to discuss what they don't want to hear. Are there shelters or ymca or something available where he could get a shower for the sake of his children? I understand what you mean about the pain and sadness seeming to go on forever but that is why you need to try to take more care of you. I told my 37 year old that his life was too chaotic for me and i couldnt be as involved as before. It is time for them to take charge of their lives and us to take charge of ours. I have found that the more i am able to find ways to make him do it and the more time i do things to make me happy the stronger i get. Sometimes for me that meant removing myself for a couple days. I go on trips that take me far enough out of town that i can't come back to help even if i want too. That helps me. You have to find what works for you. I hope you are able to stay strong. [/QUOTE]
