[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 549589, member: 13542"] Wow, what a story! Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me. Some of us (parents) sure go through the ringer with our kids, don't we? Your youngest boy sounds like my daughter, not too good at socializing, has 'anger' issues, has mental issues, doesn't want to work, not much drive, etc. Have you tried to get him hooked into NAMI (National alliance for Mental illness) I got my difficult child into their net, they provide counseling, jobs, education, housing, etc. Of course, your son would have to admit to the illness. My difficult child has a lot of trouble with that too. They become very difficult to help when they cannot admit to the problem, you can't fix a problem if you don't acknowledge the problem. Sigh. However, you sound as if you're handling all of this very well, you seem to have accepted what is and figured out what your boundaries are. Do you see yourself in a good place with all of it? I imagine you've had quite the journey through with your youngest sons choices. I'm glad your oldest straightened himself out. I pray every day that my daughter wakes up and starts to make healthy choices, but I just don't know...............the hardest thing I ever did was to detach myself from her lifestyle choices and her dramas, but it is getting easier as time goes on.............It will be interesting to see how this all plays out when your son gets out, I can see why you have some reservations, especially after having some time without kids!! Given your sons mental issues, is it possible he could get into the system and receive housing, food stamps, etc. NAMI helps with all of that by the way, if you're interested. Just some thoughts to get him somewhat on his own without having to live with you......... [/QUOTE]
