[QUOTE="Not Unique, post: 763344, member: 30477"] I am so heartbroken for your loss. Your son sounds so much like my son. I am sorry about what you are going through with your daughter. I have to remind myself that I am on this site because I truly care about my adult son and I am distraught that I cannot fix him. The guilt And shame and remorse for all of it becomes overwhelming. But I do know that that is the truth, I cannot fix any other human being. I am not responsible for any other human beings choices/mental illness/drug addiction. My son is in yet another psychiatric ward which he was escorted to by the police. He told me a couple of days ago from the psychiatric unit phone that they so freely let him use that he was going to cause grave harm to me because I told him that we were tired of giving him his $40 of Western Union codes every couple of days. I know I should’ve just remained quiet, but sometimes the words leave before I can pause. Two days later he called me to tell me he wants to join a book club with me and can I send him some books to the psychiatric unit. Oh I feel so powerless. Thank God that I believe in God. That is my constant source of why this is all worth it to keep on keeping on. Many people say to me I don’t know how you keep going, well, the other choice is not any better. I hope you can find some peace in knowing that you are human being worthy of it.🥰 [/QUOTE]
