[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622825, member: 1550"] I have never read (and I've read a lot, both pro and con about different treatment methods) that letting your adult child live at home, supporthing the adult financially, letting him verbally and physically abuse you, paying his baill when he is in jail for the fifth time or putting yourself at risk was a helpful method either that helped our adult children get clean. Never read that living in chronic stress is good for anybody in a family. It is not just we who suffer...it is anyone who still lives at home. Our adult kids know we love them. Their problem is that they don't love who they are so often they take it out on us, but we can't be abused for that reason. We do not need to be judged here. This isn't what this board is all about.
