[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 725312, member: 1550"] Some people think support means just listening and not expressing our experiences. If you want this, just say it! Usually parents are looking for thoughts and ideas. They may be unique to us. I was not judging you, but trying to explain that your son can do better but it is up to him. Which is true. My two difficult kids and me got our lives together. So I have had experience. This is a site for parents with difficult adult kids and we tell our experiences/opinions. And it is up to you to take what you like and leave the rest. Not one person here is here for a bad reason. But we do express what we would do and it isn't always what we want to hear. Still, it is told in good faith. Nothing changes if we don't change our own thinking and doing. I do understand triggers and PTSD so I am sorry if something I said triggered you. That was not my purpose for responding. I wish you luck and please know that my intention was not judgment, but belief that your son can do better. Belief in him. He can do life. But he has to learn he can and you have to believe he can do it as well. Could I be wrong? Is it possible he can't do better Sure. But that is how i feel. Take care. I will not comment again, but am pulling for you both. Love and hugs. [/QUOTE]
