Another amazing book! This is for parents who are having issues with an adult child who has mental illness in connection with substance abuse, jail time, suicide. Highly recommend read!
Amazing book documenting a mother’s struggle with her addicted son. She finds herself an enabler and how she turned to God and other resources to understand with so much clarity, how to help herself in this nightmare she was living. Highly recommend.
Hi. My husband and I are deeply involved with observing supporting and encouraging our sister in Christ as she is learning how to navigate this situation exists inside her family. Her 20-year-old son, our nephew, is a nonproductive, unemployed, narcotics user, and alcoholic.
First time here. Struggling this Thanksgiving. Feeling depression coming on. Son is 49 in California & unemployed for nearly 2 years now. He's been trying to make it as some sort of futures trader. Now getting down to the bottom of his pit…no money left, not paying his debts etc. He has his vehicle he has been living out of. I could go on & on. He is on medication for bipolar & adhd. I’m in north carolina. So far away.
Oldest son is biracial, adopted, 33 yo with a fentanyl addiction, living on the streets in Phoenix without a cellphone or even I.D. We only hear from him when he can get to the library. Youngest son is 28 yo and doing well. We live in a small town outside of Atlanta, GA.
So happy to find this place! My son is 16 and struggling .My best friend has kids his age and it’s like honor roll! Omg track star! Omg so happy at prom !
I know I’m a bad person but sometimes I want to be like “ oh wow so happy for you !!!!”
Yesterday I finally said “ my son is almost at a 60 and MAY not have to stay back !!! “
She’s like .
My envy isn’t cute …
Hello, This Jan 1 will be 13 years since my son was killed. He was 19. My surviving son Ray is now 33 and an active addict an is homeless. He has 2 beautiful children that I had to help his mom gain full custody of. We have not spoken in almost 3 years other than horrible text messages he sends me, I have now blocked him.
Today I woke up hopeless and depressed. I turned to this forum and feel so much better. I am feeling more hope for my ability to detach and live my own life.
I am a formerly difficult child who was diagnosed with anxiety and ODD and medicated with Prozac at age 5. At the time of my diagnosis in the early 90s, I was in the first wave of very young children treated with Prozac and was used as a case study for the effects of Prozac on young children, in the treatment of ODD and for long-term treatment at higher dosages.
I am a single parent of two grown up boys, both having A.D.H.D. and one having added issues such as autism and mental health problems, anxiety. I need help and advise how to cope any further before I make one of them homeless, as I can not cope and he is making our lives a nightmare?
I am a mother of three adult children and grandma to five loveable grandkids. My son is bipolar mixed. He has come a long way. And I'm thankful. My youngest daughter has several mental health issues, one I'm sure is a Borderline (BPD). Because doctors don't live with her, they seem to miss this diagnosis.
Raising my 7 year old grandson who was a neonatal abstinence baby now diagnosed with ADHD and mood dysregulation disorder. This is the hardest thing I've ever done but my love for him keeps me going
Tired of jumping through hoops!
I need help on how to let go of my adult daughter who has made it her mission to make me jump through hoops for the past 10 years. I am so tired and worn down and refuse to do it anymore.
Had hoped he was doing OK. Now he's demanding financial support, while maintaining 'no contact', but also threatening to return home. How does that work??
