[QUOTE="Laker16, post: 728378, member: 22808"] I hope I'm replying correctly... Thank you so much Recovering enabler, the kindness and concern you and the others who have responded have shown me is a comfort. We are struggling with not only guilt over not letting him come live with us, but also because when he left the facility he walked back to his ex's house and is being a burden and worry to her. I know she wishes we would bring him back to our town and part of me feels guilty for leaving him there in the town where she lives. However, here we couldn't get him into any treatment facilities or even a shelter, while there they have places that have been willing to help him. I told her last night to call the police if he came there and file a restraining order if she needed to. Ugh! Anyway, we have gone to some NAMI meetings and it helps with not feeling so alone. Unfortunately they are only once a month. I will definitely look into the readings and online resources you mentioned. Funny that you mentioned Eckhart Tolle, our son wanted me to read something by that author to help me understand that he wasn't mentally ill, but rather on a spiritual journey. I also will consider the idea of counseling for myself and my husband. We have felt our own mental health severely tested. Thank you again for reaching out to me. [/QUOTE]
