[QUOTE="Ironbutterfly, post: 678756, member: 19951"] I joined here couple of months ago and I read the detachment document on this forum. A light-bulb went off. I knew what I was doing wrong, where I needed to correct how I handled son. I don't engage in his drama stories, albeit, they are not as frequent as they have been over the last 6 months since he moved down south and got away from his crack-whore girlfriend. I am not stressed like I was- just keeping conversations, light and simple, caring but not caring too much. Had issues with Hubby and I with how to handle son- he was more firm, stop enabling him, etc. I was the one who had to fix son, help son, offer solutions, give him money, etc. It caused some friction with hubby and I. But he was right all along. We are now on same page. I think its great that you offered hubby to meet outside your home. Have hubby read detachment document here. Have you thought about giving son x amount of time to get a job or you will take the car back and sell it? Just a thought for some motivation. Get a job or lose the car. Hang in there- and proud of you on working on "detachment". Stay the course, it is worth it. [/QUOTE]
