Kristin, bless her heart, has bailed him out this time. He is not facing any consequences of his behavior in Georgia. He is separated from that behavior and those episodes now and has landed in Florida. Georgia is ancient history. Mom cashed him out and he has moved on. My stepfather, my mom and the rest of the family had to learn the hard lesson that my stepsister was not going to accept proper and constructive help with the constant safety net to save her. Family and friends had to agree together to stop bailing her out - as a unified front - to basically save her life. From what Doug has posted, it sounds like his family tried to reach out to Kristin to express why running off to florida may not be the best choice for him given his mental state. His response to that (they tried to sabotage my relationship with K!!!) is very familiar. I’m not saying one has to hit rock bottom because sometimes that’s too late. But the reality of not having a safety net can usually cause one to self reflect without hitting rock bottom. No one has all the answers. I’m just referencing my own experiences with a family member that was also pretty destructive in her manic episodes. I hope Doug gets well and is able to repair his relationships with mom and brother. |

Need-a-Vette nailed it. I have a family member who ****ed up for decades without consequence due to having a safety net and therefore, no need to be responsible.
The safety net died and he has struggled for the past 13 years, but is living in reality and is 100% self-supportive and not on the system. The enablement of his parent handicapped him for over 20 years and was a huge contributor to his 'failure to launch' status and total lack of motivation and accountability. |

I hope that girl doesn't get harmed. She's gonna get hurt for sure, but there is a difference.
