[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 631913, member: 17461"] I found it helpful to read about the probable connection between drugs or alcohol and bipolar. It was so scary when difficult child daughter was diagnosed this time. Had it not been for MWM's courage in posting about her own experiences and that she had successfully taken responsibility for herself and her health, husband and I might have been thrown back into all the badness again. We are doing so much better, now. Time has proven that trusting that the kids will take better care of themselves, whatever the issues are, than we would have, through enabling them. Detachment theory is working. Nothing else worked out in the long run. I feel like such a rotten mom in the thick of it, in the saying "no"...but my not enabling is working better for the kids. Articles like those you've posted have been very helpful to me, MWM. Thank you. Cedar P.S. I am still so much in denial. You would think I would have this down pat by now. [/QUOTE]
