[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 744009, member: 11235"] I just want to chime in on the enabling question. I struggled with enabling and boundaries for years. I have it pretty well figured out now and do a pretty good job of maintaining my boundaries. When I question whether something is enabling I remember the definition I use to figure it out. Enabling is doing something for an adult that they are capable of doing for themselves. Is he capable of paying his phone bill? Yes. Does he want to? No. That makes it enabling. [/QUOTE]
