[QUOTE="cynlee, post: 727768, member: 22713"] Hello everyone. I am so glad I found this community. Thank you so much for your very helpful replies! They are comforting and confirm much of what I've been feeling. I'm sorry for what many of you have had to go through. It seems that none of my close friends have dealt with mentally ill children. Their children are very successful and normal, which makes it worse. I just don't talk about my son much with them. I agree that it's time for my husband and I to talk with a therapist. It certainly helps to gets things out and discuss them. I appreciate the suggestion of giving my son a list of homeless shelters. Homelessness is a big issue where we live, since the climate/weather is so nice. There are efforts to support them. It's just hard to accept that one's dreams for how their talented and smart child was going to turn out have to be re-adjusted. But, I am beginning to realize that I can't make that happen. He'll have to make his own way. Thanks for the information on 'detachment.' I'll check that out. [/QUOTE]
