[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 685691, member: 18516"] Thanks for the update To33. I am so glad she decided to include him. Even though their lives were a mess they were still together for 7 years. I'm sorry to hear it was suicide as that always leaves so many questions that there will never be answers to. I don't post about this much because it's really not what this forum is about but I am a Christian and attend church weekly. Many people think church's are filled with people who have it all together and that is the farthest thing from the truth. While there are many who do "have it all together" there are probably more who don't and are just broken in some way. My church has a program called Celebrate Recovery and there have been people who have come from the depths of the gutter and turned their lives around. My church meets you where you are no matter how broken. I'm glad to know that they were going, it's just my hope that the church was welcoming to them as I know there are some churches that are not welcoming to people who are really hurting and broken and I find that so disheartening. Boy is that ever the truth about our d_c's! I think this is very common. I too had people and some family that thought I had turned my back on my son. They can believe what they want, until they have lived in my shoes or the shoes of any parent on this forum they will never understand. Isn't it just so sad that some people think this way. I too have been on the receiving end of this. My son has posted several time on social media that I don't love or care about him. Funny how he never posts about ALL that I have done for him, how much money I have spent on him, etc...... When we stop enabling they only see it as abandonment. Yes they are but it's also their choice. There are many people with mental illness who manage to live a responsible and fulfilled life. They choose to go to therapy and take medication. It's not that there isn't help for people it's that people choose to not to be helped. [/QUOTE]
