[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 751723, member: 23405"] Beta and Wise... I appreciate your support. It is not easy making changes. I read somewhere "We are addicted to certainty. We would rather be certain we are miserable than risk being happy and satisfied." I did this for so long. I was certain I was going to help/enable sons even though I was miserable and angry that I couldn't put a stop to it and all the consequences it brought to me. I can't say that I'm "happy" just yet but I am satisfied that I have boundaries for myself that allow me to know what's unacceptable behavior. I kept waiting for them to see how "wrong" they were but truth be told I'd still be enabling if I let them. [/QUOTE]
