[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 683190, member: 1550"] Leafie, thank you for good wishes. I think my grand will get help and do well but right now it is very hard on princess when she has one of her fits. She is so sensory sensitive (grand) and I think that often sets her off. Well be ok. Been there/done that. Leafie, you could never hurt anyone. I was thinking of myself, and what I probably do wrong, when I talked about long posts. And to myfriendkita so much truth there and I have been guilty of every one of your very good points. Partly, im not sure how to be so gentle with parents who alliw adult children to slap them around in many ways. I have much more gentkeness toward parents of children who can not behave. I miss posting about those innocent ones. I do have to say that adult parents such as the very bright Suzir and IC and others have made me agree that even adult children may do best with different types of handling. The woman with a s hizophrenic son who got some "tough love ay help him" posts really jolted me. Instead of blaming the horrific system, pretend a schizophrenic can figure it out? I had to rethink everything. The fact is, tough love wont help somebody with schizophrenia and there is no help. Period. Its a tragedy. It is beyond him to help himself... he is too mentally not there. It is not his mothers fault either. He is dangerous. There is not much to do here but hold the family close to our hearts. Cant treat a schizophrenic like a depressive or drug addict and expect the same results. And finalli I realize that some parents do feel they have to take care of even their violent abusive drug addicted forty year old "child." If that is the only way they can live with themselves, is it my place to tell them not to do it? I feel I can say I wouldnt do it, but some would rather die than not totally take of even the most criminal adult child and thsts up to them. Lots to think about and I have been. fYI my graddaughter prompted my old memories of such great feedback for young kids...then I remembered how busy, busy this site us ed to be and its not anymore. So those are just my thoughts of late. [/QUOTE]
