[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 629965, member: 17542"] I have been starting to realize this is a truth for the past few weeks. I do know that this is often said in Al-Anon: Something is backward when I'm upset about his life more than he is. It is almost impossible for us to fathom that lifestyle being "okay". I think that is where the real disconnect is. While I never want anyone to go hungry, it has occurred to me multiple times over the past few weeks that all of this "help" out there for our difficult children may help keep them homeless and unrecovered. Well-meaning people, churches, nonprofits, shelters, etc.---the six pages of resources I found in my difficult child's backpack----there are so many resources for our difficult children. Are there too many? I do think we don't get it at all, and we stay all twisted up when many of them are okay with their lives. Or at least it isn't just awful like we make it out to be. I wish we could be a fly on the wall for one day. I think we would all rest easier at night, perhaps. [/QUOTE]
