[QUOTE="Fran, post: 302324, member: 3"] Raising a child to be an independent thinking adult requires a gradual relinquishment of maternal oversight. To deny this young man control over his own life will not only negate what you have worked so hard to build in him- self esteem. It will make him less willing to share what he intends to try in the future. Independence will happen. It is your choice whether he will be independent using your wisdom as a safety net or if he will be independent without your input. If it fails to work, then he gets to reassess and make other choices. [/QUOTE]
