Dear Joan:

I read your latest posts. It is a shame you moved back to California after your life and psychotherapy in Rhode Island. You thought you could change the dynamics of your original family because you had therapy. Problem is your original family members, your mother for one, did not have therapy, was not motivated to change the dynamics. So just like when you were a child, you were the only one motivated.

Your children are now adults. Your son is autistic and has not yet lived independently, correct? Where does he live, is he employed, what is going on with him?

And your daughter, is she married, with kids? How is she doing in her life?
