[QUOTE="Hope_Floats, post: 638107, member: 18310"] I am truly grateful for your sharing this post, Headlights. I have been mostly reading, not posting much so far, garnering strength from all of you to hold strong in my resolve to continue to hold the "closed" sign firmly on the door of Bank of Mom and let my 22 difficult child figure out himself how to get out from under the mountain of financial burden that his choices have created for himself. He has ADD and is suffering from depression and anxiety (and from I've read lately, I'm pretty sure that he has borderline personality disorder, although that isn't a current diagnosis for him that I know of). You guys have all been a source of comfort and affirmation for me in so many ways, I although I have to say that I was beginning to become very discouraged that there wasn't much hope of anything ever changing for my dear, formerly sweet, son that I love so much. I just thought it was too late. It is immensely encouraging to see that one of our guys is making progress at 24! Even if it's two steps forward and he ends up taking a step back or it isn't all just perfect from here, we see that it is possible for them to change. It would have been so easy for you, I think, to stop posting while things were good, since you didn't need the support so much. So thank you for keeping us posted. We're all rooting for your difficult child, and for you! [/QUOTE]
