[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 643481, member: 18516"] There are years of advice here from those who have weathered the storms of our difficult child's all given from people who care about what you and Jabber are going through. I think back to when my difficult child was 20 and wonder how I might have handled things differently if I had this forum to turn to. Would I have been quicker to detach, perhaps. I do know it would have been a comfort to know I wasn't alone and to have the advice from others would have equipped me with better tools in dealing with my difficult child. My difficult child will be 34 this month and his life continues to spiral out of control. He's homeless in a CO mountain town. I spent many years and lots of money trying to help my son. Do I have regrets? I suppose I have some, however, I know in my heart that I did everything I could to try and help my son. That's the fine line here, when is enough, enough??? That is a question that only each one of can answer for ourselves. I don't regret trying to help my son, I do regret doing it for too long. Again, if I had this forum 15 - 20 years ago I could have saved myself years of grief and thousands of dollars. Bottom line, only you and Jabber can decide when enough is enough for you but at least you have the compiled years of experience and advice from those of us who have been there to help you. Lil, I wish you and Jabber a Happy New Year. I hope it is a year where you will be able to find some peace in the midst of the chaos. [/QUOTE]
