[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 705577, member: 20054"] Hi Lucy. NO-you are not a failure. There are many parents who make little effort their child's whole life and the adult turns out fine. There are also many parents who do everything nearly right and their kids go off the rails. Truer words were never spoken. I love my son too but I so cannot fix him. ME. Hard to admit as there are still isolated times when he's easy to be with. Even harder to admit is that he may be impaired at those times. So many years since I've seen the real person, I don't know anymore. Lucy, as you see, you are not alone. Counseling and al-anon helped my husband and me through the roughest spots. You are there. Continue to post. Take a little control. Your home should be your sanctuary. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
