We help support our kid who is going to school and working FT in a HCOL area.  He did not finish college because he was in rehab, so his FT service job is stable, healthy for him, but not lucrative.  He is alive, healthy, and working his way to becoming self-sufficient.  I am so proud of him and feel like our ability to ensure he stays in school, goes to therapy, and has a supportive place to live is a great investment.  I do not think I am failing in supporting him.  I’m glad you didn’t have to make those choices.[/quote]

Don’t even pay attention to posts that make dumb blanket statements like “you failed”.

I’m glad he’s doing well and he might not be if you hadn’t been there for him.  There are so many families who have a child who was diagnosed with mental illness in their late teens or got into drugs, or just need help with support because they will only be able to work a low paying job.

Family support is everything in these situations. I would be proud too, you have not failed.   [/quote]
