[QUOTE="pepperidge, post: 534981, member: 2322"] I am so sorry for all of you dealing with this. I am reading to start working on my detachment skills in advance. I am just guessing here, but it seems the difficulty some parents face here is suppose its not just mental illness (like depression that might be medicated) or trauma that might be dealt with. Suppose its Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) or similar brain damage that just leaves these kids pre frontal cortex in some state of arrested development? Or maybe not fully developed to thirty years. Such a difficult road to navigate, knowing that even with just totally cutting them off they may not have the brain power or whatever to really make a success if they wanted to. My heart goes out to all of you wrestling with these difficult decisions, and I hope to learn from your strength. [/QUOTE]
