[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 746653, member: 13542"] Welcome Marierose. I understand your concern, I ended up raising my granddaughter from age 11 until she she left for college. It is extremely difficult to be on the sidelines when our adult kids go off the rails.........made worse when there are little ones in the mix. It may be helpful to read the article on detachment at the bottom of my post. You might also contact NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, they have chapters in many cities and you can find them online. Here is the link: [URL="https://www.nami.org/About-NAMI"]About NAMI | NAMI: National Alliance on Mental Illness[/URL] They offer excellent courses for parents which may help you with information, clarity, support and resources for you, your daughter and grandson. I found it very difficult to maneuver through the emotional landscape on my own so I got myself into as many supportive environments as I could. You might try therapy or counseling so you have a place to go where you feel safe and receive the support and nourishment that YOU need. Often when we've been caring for our wayward adult kids for a long time, our ability to care for ourselves is thwarted. I'd encourage you to focus on yourself and the rest of your family so you can build up your strength and nurture yourself......when we are nourished and supported, we are better able to make healthy choices for ourselves and our kids. Here are two links to help find a therapist in your area if that works for you: [URL="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists"]Find a Therapist, Psychologist, Counselor - Psychology Today[/URL] [URL="https://www.goodtherapy.org/find-therapist.html"]Find a Therapist[/URL] You might try calling 211 which is a nationwide system of support. [URL="http://www.211.org/services/crisis-and-emergency"]Crisis[/URL] They may be able to help with shelters and safe homes. Continue posting if that feels right to you......you're not alone. This is a tough path we're on.....hang in there..... [/QUOTE]
