[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 703157, member: 20814"] Belle, I'm sorry you are struggling with your son. A very sad situation. Of course you love your son, and it is clear that you have done your best and even more than many parents would have done. We supported our daughter until very recently, and she will be 27 in a few weeks. It took being assaulted by her for me to wake up and realize that she couldn't get what she needed while under our roof, for whatever reason. She is now out of the house and on her own. We do not know where she is, though I don't think she has left the area. Believe it or not, I am at peace not knowing where she is because I GAVE IT MY BEST ( I have to tell myself this over and over). Her life is her own and though I love her and I wish she could have used the time under our roof to find the correct combination of medications so that she could function in the world, she didn't do that. I still find it difficult to find enjoyment in life, wondering if she is suffering, and this type of internal limbo is difficult as a parent. I wish you peace, please listen to your partner, it sounds as though your health is at stake. I hope there are support groups across the pond in the U.K. :notalone: [/QUOTE]
