[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're really online talking $#it about a woman taking care of her son with mental health issues the best she can? You have no idea about their darkest moments. You are a POS, OP. [/quote]

NP here. Is it at all possible that op is right? That they’ve handicapped their son by enabling him for years? That’s a definite possibility too, as much as the possibility that he has such intense mental health issues that he truly is disabled. The thing is that I don’t know, and you don’t actually know any more details, so you don’t know if the op is a POS or not. You’re quick to get really angry. [/quote]

Agree with this. I look at what has happened with my BIL and I do think s big part of it was my ILs not requiring he get a job when he moved back in with them, and not insisting on therapy from the start. Eventually they got him to die both but by then he had lived with them for years and he didn't view either as necessary, so it's been hard to get him to stick with either. They normalized him just living with them and making no progress and then trying to create momentum to get him back out has been a nightmare.[/quote]
