[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 696851, member: 20054"] Hi CA. I could have written this, word for word. Our son also chose this. So hard to fathom. Now we see that many times when he seemed to be complying, he was "going along with the show" just to keep us involved enough to string along. Due to our son's mental issues it was harder to detach for us. We just didn't know what he was capable of in the way of supporting himself. He went through vocational rehab twice (they were wonderfully helpful) only to not get up to go to interviews or quit showing up for appointments. Despite his deficits (we all have some, don't we?), he knows right from wrong. He has chosen a different path so there must be a benefit I can't see.... Is it more fun to party all night? or sleep till 2pm? To me this is not a good trade for insecurity of not having housing, food, gas. But that's "to me". I am glad you went to the meeting, as they say..go back. We found love and strength there. This makes me cry for you, for us all. Hold tight. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
