[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 632546, member: 1550"] I do think it's a good site. However, I think it is sad that most of them are in a place where they have resigned themselves to taking care of (financially) their incarcerated adults until death and give up their own lives. It would not be something I'd be willing to do as I have other loved ones who need me, including my dear husband and other children and grands. But, of course, giving up your own life for them, even if they won't help themselves, is also an option. I think the seven stages of grief is AWESOME. Maybe, eventually, most of those posters do get on with their lives. I hope so. It is sad to me that so many people make excuses for their adult children, such as "he always carries a gun so when it accidentally went off and he killed somebody it wasn't on purpose" rather than thinking about the victim's family of the woman he killed. However, we will all do what we feel comfortable doing and if some people, as we have discussed, want to be 85, taking financial and emotional responsibility for their 65 year old child, that is an option they have made. I personally find it a sad option, but I can only control myself. I should make a separate post with those seven stages of grief. Hugs to you both. [/QUOTE]
