[QUOTE="LostSoul1, post: 683457, member: 19755"] Hi Lindalou and welcome to for forum. I read your posting and your son sounds soooo similar to mine. I can see many similarities like the iep, learning disability, stealing credit cards, lying and on and on it goes. I too suspected he may be autistic but apparently not....He was diagnosed with Bipolar/manic depression, anxiety, adhd. Our psychiatrist also recommended to stop the enabling. Like many have said on here...nothing changes...if nothing changes. All my helping has done absolutely nothing! That story about the butterly in the cocoon pretty much sums it up. As hard as it is to watch them struggle, we have to let nature run its' course. We have to let them live out their journey...as hard as it is to want to jump in and help get them out of every situation. Hard as heck...as i too am a fixer and a doer...i find solutions, sitting on my hands is hard!! Hardest thing i have ever done. But good point was raised in one of the posting...how would they figure things out if god forbid something were to happen to us...they would have to figure it out wouldn't they? Easier said than done i know, but this forum has been a TREMENDOUS support to me and offers great perspective from folks who are going thru alot of what you are experiencing. We are here to support one another and welcome to this forum. :) [/QUOTE]
