You write so beautifully, and you so accurately describe how it feels to be a parent of these sadly delusional kids. Thank you. Only parents going through this understand the pain, the anger, the grief...it is a club I wish we didn't belong to, and yet I am so grateful to know that I am not alone, and that I am understood. May God give us the strength to persevere, and may He bring our prodigal daughters and sons back into our loving embrace.
