I'm sorry your family is going through this heartbreak. I often wish I had a crystal ball in which I can see how it ends regarding my child but sadly that's not reality. Instead as others have mentioned I had to work on detachment for my own sanity. This doesn't mean I will ever stop loving my child but I have to work on that" his life and issues doesn't consume mine." I convince myself I have always been a good and loving mother although the doubts of shoulda, woulda , coulda creep in but just as I don't have the ability to foresee the future now I also didn't back then. Neither does your family or anyone else's on this forum. You will find comfort here with those that have walked in your shoes and understand the pain that goes with having a child that is unable to function well in their life. I wish I could give you a hug and please come back often as we are here to listen without judgement and offer comfort and solace.
