[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 596651"] Heartbreaking to read your words. We DO understand. What Barbara wrote here: "[I]Remember when Dr. Kubler-Ross (?) wrote that book about the stages of grief? I think those stages apply to us, too. There are five stages. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and........ Acceptance." [/I] Well, that resonated with me. Getting to the last stage was so very difficult. But, so very necessary. Each case is different, but most seem to be VERY similar. Little to nothing we can do, unless our difficult child him or herself wishes to change for the better. Good that your difficult child is in communication with your mother. Maybe she can lead him to good resources as appropriate. If it is within your ability, consider seeing a counselor for yourself and/or attenting Family Anonymous meetings. You need support to strengthen yourself. This is a very hard road us moms have had to endure. Sending gentle hugs and good thoughts for your strength, comfort, peace and wisdom. [/QUOTE]
