[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 707032, member: 15032"] Weary Mother: Your adult children are not yours to fix. I feel so badly for you that you are suffering so much yet everything that is happening is out of your hands. I do not recall if you go to therapy but if I were you, I would. I did for a long time weekly and it really helped me set boundaries and put everything into perspective, including MY own life and preservation. I lost my therapist but plan to take her recommendation for someone new to see monthly. My son is stable now but I need a security blanket. I don't know what else you can do really or should do which is the more important question. You aren't going to live forever and your children will most likely outlive you and have to make it on their own. That's what I think of at times and it puts things into perspective for me. Hugs and we're here for you! [/QUOTE]
