[QUOTE="tryagain, post: 622917, member: 14865"] I am so sorry you are going through this. None of us deserve it. The common thread I have seen between us all is that we we are all loving, caring people with grown-up children who will not or cannot act like grownups. Some do not act like grownups because of mental illness, others because of alcohol, drugs, etc. but by and large, they want to depend on us and milk us for what we are worth. So that you will know you're not alone, let me tell you my current status. Just this morning I had posted that my difficult child who tried to commit suicide three weeks ago was doing so much better. But now, I am sitting at a drugstore parking lot because I do not want to go to my house while she is mad. I just hope she's not burning the house down right now. I will sit here and wait until my husband gets home so he can calm her down. All this, because this afternoon she began to whine because we have asked that she not stay out all night but to please come in by 3 AM. You would think we had asked her to do the worst thing in the world. We had an argument about her not wanting to pick up her dirty clothes off the floor while she is staying with us. It led to quite an argument where I had to remind her that she is a guest in our house, free to leave anytime. So then I was called a bad mother. Just like your son called you! This, after we dropped everything we had and rushed six hours away when she overdosed three weeks ago to help her. So I am sitting here feeling your pain and thinking of you. Just know that others definitely feel your pain and are here for you when you need encouragement support, etc. [/QUOTE]
