[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 409328, member: 2322"] Forgive me if this comment is too blunt or insensitive or missing the point. I often read this forum, and see the incredible pain parents are in and wonder what I would do in similar circumstances which I might be someday. I guess what is so hard is that while your children are alive there is always hope that they will find a way to a better life, particularly when they are relatively young. When they are dead that door is closed forever. So it seems to me that the challenge is on the one hand, how not to enable and provide ways for one child's to escape hitting bottom, but I feel for Nancy--perhaps in certain circumstances maintaining a bit of connection and some type of safety net might be preferable to the alternative. What difficult decisions we as parents have to make sometimes and my heart goes out to you. [/QUOTE]
