[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 631194, member: 17542"] Annie, my son used to say all of the same things to me. I remember one time, I just started agreeing with him. I said, you're exactly right. Not one single thing I have tried to do has helped you. In fact, your situation is worse today than it was in the past. So obviously, I have not been able to give you the help you need. So I am going to stop trying. Your life is up to you. He was completely shocked by my sudden agreement. I didn't go into all of the dumb, illogical things he was saying---which were not true, wow, how much I have tried to help him, way more than anything I have ever done for my easy child son or anybody----I just simply agreed that I have not been able to help him. Finally, through repetition and consistency and lots of starts and stops, today, he is somewhere out there---I don't know where---doing whatever he is doing. I don't know where he is. I don't know where he sleeps. I haven't heard from him in a week. But Annie, he is not coming to me anymore with the constant barrage. Whatever he is doing, he is doing on his own. Every night and every day, I release him over and over again to my Higher Power, to God, to the Universe, to all things that are good, asking for protection and safety and recovery for him. That is really all I can do anymore. Somehow when they are saying completely dumb things that are so outrageous, it helps us stand firm. I hope that is the case for you tonight. Warm hugs, Annie. Sleep well. [/QUOTE]
