[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 661609, member: 18958"] Hi Natsom. It would be helpful to me if you described what those are. I have a 26 year old son who is on SSI due to mental illness. My SO [I]does not believe he is mentally ill[/I]. I am a professional in healthcare and should know if he is or is not. I am absolutely floored when it comes to my own son. You are not alone. Just remember this: In pulling back you are helping yourself and your son. By continuing to support his lifestyle you get in the way. This does not mean we no longer love them. What it means is we do not love how they are living and what they have become. Thousands and thousands of people quit Meth. But they do so when and if they choose. You have an opportunity now to take care of yourself, to discover who you are and to become the person you need to be. You will get support on this site to do all of that. Do not feel sad that your child is not that darling and sweet little boy. Out of the bed he has made for himself he has the opportunity to grow into and become a man. Only he can do it for himself. We cannot do it for them. Not you. Not me. Welcome to the board. Keep posting. Take care. [/QUOTE]
