[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 593473, member: 13561"] Payla , I too feel your pain and am in the same position. I have posted here before but am generally just a "lurker" because most times the situation is just too big for my head-too painful to express it, analyze it, solve it. My son is in the psychiatric ward of a local hospital and was begging me to let him stay with him "just till I find a place to crash". But everytime I've let him do that, the end result is the same and like you, through therapy, I am learning to see how I am infantilizing him with my help. It is THE HARDEST THING I HAVE EVER HAD TO DO. This kid has done all the standard difficult child behaviors-even put me in the ICU for 5 days and I am STILL seeing him as this 12 year old lost boy. (he's 24, but IS lost, nonetheless) Sorry-not trying to hijack your thread, just letting you know that I understand your sadness and am sending you good vibes and a prayer for strength and courage for ALL of us!
