[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 729063, member: 13542"] Marlboro, welcome. Your post brought tears to my eyes......you've been thru the mill in every way, I am so sorry. I understand the tears, these are our kids, mental issues and all. I have much mental illness in my family as well, parents, siblings, cousins, daughter. it's been a lifelong situation.......(in some ways more like a curse). I am also 68, so we are at a point where our lives are OUR lives, our grown troubled kids have gone way beyond our parenting...... but never beyond our heartache. I have to use many tools continuously as well, this is not for the faint of heart! You have all the knowledge and information at your disposal, perhaps what we can offer you here is empathy, compassion, understanding and that deep sense of being seen and heard. I've been here for 6 years now, arriving when my 45 year old daughter went completely off the rails. It's helped enormously to write down my story, get support and guidance and offer back what I can. I hope you stick around, it really is a safe place for battle weary parents, and it sure sounds as if you fit "battle weary"........... I'm so sorry for your heartache Marlboro.......if you've read some of our stories, you can see you're not alone...there's a whole 'tribe' of us here......we're pretty good at supporting each other.....hang around and continue posting, it helps. We'll circle our wagons around you.....I'm glad you found us, glad you're here. Hang in there. This is so hard. I know. [/QUOTE]
