[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 649367, member: 13542"] Yes, the anti medication thing is aggravating, it impacts everyone in the family. At 18 they just don't have an idea of the consequences of their behavior, that part of the brain, as you know, is not developed yet. Sigh. I'm sorry Terry. It is scary to imagine them out there in the big world, without their medications, making foolish choices........ My granddaughter is also 18, away at college in a dorm, making some odd choices too. Each step of the way, I have to take a deep breath and recognize that I have no more control over her choices.....it's the dance of detachment and it ain't easy. Especially when they are so young and you are so aware of what the consequences of their behavior may indeed be. Today he's okay, he's coming home tonight, "for you" which is a sweet gesture on his part. It sounds as if he is torn, wanting his freedom yet at the same time, wanting be connected to you. It's gotta be hard to be in his shoes, I empathize with him. I empathize with you too. It's so hard to let go. Hang in there Terry. We're here. Big hugs going out to you...... [/QUOTE]
