[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 635215, member: 13558"] Your story sounds so similar to mine!!! I have to tell you about my first 'visit' to an online forum. I posted my sad tale and a member posted back, 'face reality you have a loser for a son, deal with it'. OMG!! I was already out of my mind and THAT was the last thing I needed lol!!!! I stayed away from online forums for 10+ years! It is also really hard to find a good, supportive counselor or in person group too. BUT, I can honestly say this is one of THE BEST group of people I have found. There are a good deal of books and info on the Net that are a great help. The biggest lesson I learned is you can't make them get help and you can't do it for them. The guilt is also hard to over come. As a single parent with a dead beat dad in the picture I was easily manipulated. It's very hard, I would never have dreamed I would be living this life, and yet, here it is and it's a person I love dearly. Find some hobbies and take care of you! Posting does help. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
