[QUOTE="everywoman, post: 143578, member: 1436"] Susan, You sound so much stronger than you did when you first joined. I know that detachment is hard. My difficult child is currently back home, again, after me saying several times he would never be allowed back. But, what do you do when you've tried everything and the child you love so is obviously unable to survive in the world. I can't see my child homeless and hungry. He is an addict. He is menally ill. He has no way to support himself. He has no insurance for rehab or pysch hospital or even to see anyone locally. He is on probation. He may have to go to prison also because he may not complete the things he needs to do. He should be off probation next week---but he still owes 200+ in fines and owes a few more hours of community service that he may not complete. He missed his last drug class because someone hit his car and he was stuck 60 miles away with no transportation to get there and the next is not scheduled until after his meeting with his PO next week. Will I help him out? No--- Do I still love and worry about him--- Yes. It's a hard road to walk with these young adults. The world sees them as men---but they are still very much children. [/QUOTE]
