[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 752659, member: 23706"] Copa I think I partly can't keep it up with Kay because I have other kids who were greatly affected by Kay. Now they don't have Kay's problems, but they do have their own ups and downs. Amy's divorce is one and her failing marriage was ignored by us because we were afraid for Kay more than for her. There is zero chance that Amy will become homeless. She has a great job. So we worried about Kay and the homeless issue. And Jaden. We could not have fixed Amy's marriage, but we could have offered more family support and one on one or joint parental attention. I am horrified that we were not there for her. My son has a girlfriend and relationship problems sometimes and his problems seemed so trite beside Kay's. We failed here. In spite of us these two kids thrive and forgive us. We can never be lesser than again. I don't know if we would have stopped helping Kay not become homeless if she had been our only child. We could have kept doing it then without hurting any other kids. But this is not our situation so we did what we feel us morally right. Kay has taken all our time, worry,and resources. She needs to step up now or not. It's time for us and the other kids and Amy's kids. It doesn't help that Kay is ungrateful and refuses to help herself. I understand your protectiveness of the parents here. Trust me, I am still vulnerable too. Turning away from a troubled child is not in my nature. But there is nothing else I can do. I do not think anybody is ever hopeless but I tend to deal with the now and how to get through now. In truth, most kids here take drugs and addicts can be wonderful people under their disease. They need only stop, such as RNs amazing son did. That is not hopeless. People decide to get sober all the time. But it is up to them. Copa, I so appreciate your ability to have such empathy for all the moms here. Your son.is very lucky. So are we all. You inspire me. God bless you and thanks for being here. Please don't stop posting. [/QUOTE]
