[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 725657, member: 20054"] Hi LeaMac. You've gone over and above to try to assist an "adult". It obviously didn't work. Many of us have thought "maybe this time"...only to be drug down again. Try something new, it doesn't mean you won't worry but don't you still worry while helping her? There is never enough in their minds, but you sound as if you have had it this time. Be assured, you are entitled to peace. I hear "I don't want to and I don't want to". That has been my cue, if I resent the request, situation or need, I need to stop. Be assured, she won't stop for a while if ever. In fact when you say no, she will most likely ramp up the requests. You've been in this long enough to know. Many of us have been in your shoes, take comfort that the baby is safe. I've found it better just to block calls because I'm too weak and it upsets me. We initiate contact with our son when we can handle it and immediately get off phone if there's drama. I have been so profoundly sad that my son's wasting his life and then I realized how profoundly sad it was that I was wasting mine.... Keep posting, we're here, we get it. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
