[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 728686, member: 13303"] No you are not a horrible, selfish mother. You are accepting that you cannot fix, manage, control, or cure your son. Your son is an adult, not the sweet, vulnerable little boy of so many years ago. Nobody understands unless they've gone through it. My home life is dramatically better without either of my troubled stepsons in it. So I understand somewhat, but being a stepparent is of course very different so I can't say I understand completely. But I think I understand enough. Try not to live in the future, after all none of us have crystal balls. Your son will eventually have to learn that noncompliance with his medications means terrible consequences. One day you will be gone from this earth and he will have no choice but to fend for himself. He may surprise you and handle his situation, whatever it may be, with some responsibility. Blessings to you, this is horrible and not what a family is supposed to be. We ALL get that much. [/QUOTE]
