[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 631879, member: 4152"] Ok, I just perused your more recent post. It would be hard, but I do think the Parents Anonymous meeting might be helpful. I was shocked and saddened to see so many parents with adult children using hard drugs and causing such terrible grief for their parents. The stories were very very very similar to yours. But they use the AA principles and it gives them strength and wisdom to detach and move on. The camaraderie is amazing. I spoke to a gentleman and asked if they ever miss a meeting for holidays and he laughed. Said the meeting is Wednesday and they don't care if it happens to fall on Christmas day, it is NEVER cancelled! I HAD mild depression for years...that would get worse when difficult child did "her thing." Ok, I recognize that your wife is likely in a worse place. She surely could use therapy!!!! But, I would just like to mention, that for me and others I know, certain vitamins have been helpful (I'm not kidding or exaggerating) in fighting depression. They include: D3, fish oil, and a B complex. These completely changed my world....and combined with detachment, I was able to move forward FASt!!!! I hope you and your wife can work through this very difficult time. [/QUOTE]
