[QUOTE="Sinking Heart, post: 741005, member: 23407"] Hi Gary! I agree with everyone here too. What I have learned from many on this site are: to detach with love (am still learning), your safety & everyone else in the home is also important!, it is not healthy for any of you if all of you are miserable, & your adult child's bad behavior is not your responsibility. Yes, it will hurt and it is awful to watch people we love struggle but you need to take care of you now. I am only sharing what I am learning here which I have found so helpful. My youngest is homeless and I think about her everyday, especially at night. Since the 3rd grade, she has refused therapy and medications. She has never hurt herself physically but her violent behavior towards everyone and self-medicating is so self-destructing on so many levels; she also continuously burns bridges, can't keep a job, couch surfing, & even calls everyone who want to help her out of their names even while they're trying to help her; & of course, everything bad that happens or her bad behavior is never her fault. I am praying and hoping that detaching with love will finally force her to get the help she desperately needs. I also hope this site puts your heart & mind in a better place. [/QUOTE]
