Hi, Over the past 5 years I have been trying to support my son after a toxic and nastisitic relationship breakdown. He has no self esteem and is always negative, I try to put positive spin on things but it doesn't help. I reassure him we are all here for him but no matter what I do or say it's not helping. I have asked him to get help and I would pay for it but he refuses. I have tried everything and now wondering if I am helping at all or just adding to his issues. Thank you, I feel venting may help me cope a litt

Hi, welcome, @Micky2 .
Would you like to post your post above to the SANE's Friends, Family and Carers Forum? That way you might get some advice from people who have been /are in your situation, hopefully... There is also a link at the top of the page here, under "Forums Community" and under "Forums Home" a bit further down the page too.
An important forum tip is if you type @ and then click on a name in the drop-down box, that person will get a notification and won't miss your reply.
I hope you find the forums supportive...
