[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 749167, member: 11235"] Yes- I so understand this. Other people do NOT understand the situations we are in. They are judgmental and give well-meaning advice that is not appropriate in our situations. I remember a very dear friend of mine once saying, "Why doesn't his dad do something about him?" when Charlie Sheen was acting like a maniac. This was right in the midst of one of my worst times with my daughter. I told her, "Do you not think he has done everything he can think of to try and help his son? His son is an adult. There is only so much he can do." She still didn't fully understand how helpless parents are in these situations. I had to get past worrying what other people thought of me in relation to my daughter. Now I could care less. When people ask me how she is they get the truth, good or bad. It's been wonderful for me to separate my life from hers. I guess we should just be glad our kids aren't famous and putting their crazy out there for the whole world to see! [/QUOTE]
